Slovakian rider Peter Sagan ended a run of three successive stage wins by Marcel Kittel of Germany on Wednesday as he took the fourth stage of the Tour of Poland, a 176.9 kilometers ride from Cieszyn to Oswiecim.

The 21-year-old Slovak - winner of the Tour of Sardinia this year - also took over the overall leader's jersey from Kittel as the talented Sagan gained a valuable boost in a race he is using as a warm-up for next month's Tour of Spain.

Kittel had a wretched day as he came in over seven minutes behind the stage winner and slipped from top of the standings to 104th place.

1. Peter Sagan (SVK) Liquigas-Cannondale
2. Daniel Martin (IRL) Team Garmin - Cervelo
3. Marco Marcato (ITA) Vacansoleil-DCM
