Na de traditionele schermutselingen in de aanvangsfase kon [Wielrenner X] zich loswerken samen met 3 companen. Met 4 gingen zij de finale in. [Wielrenner X] trachtte meerdere malen zijn medevluchters te ontlopen, maar tevergeefs, 4de.
I am also looking for the correct cycling terms for "ontvluchten" in the sense of breaking away from the pack.

breakaway companions
medevluchters: I'd translate by "breakaway companions"
ontvluchten: escape, snuck away
Here is an example:
"With almost 10,000 feet of climbing dispersed over four laps of a 26km circuit, Milne escaped with four others at the 60km mark. On the final lap, Milne and Vallagordo snuck away from their breakaway companions with Milne taking the sprint for the win."
Good luck :)
