Welcome to the live coverage of the fourth stage of the Tour! First big mountain day!
After yesterday’s longest stage of this edition, today we have a short but very intense day. Italy bids farewell to the Tour, which is already looking for French soil. From yesterday’s sprint in Turin to the first big mountain day of the competition. You will leave with a small plate to take on the first of three climbs of the day: the eternal climb of Sestriere (39 km at 3.7%). After the descent, there is a waiting Col de Montgenevre (8.3 km at 5.9%) to end the day with the legendary ascent of Galibier (23 km at 5.1) This undoubtedly points to an all-out battle between the contenders for the general classification.
Carapace He’s taking the lead for the first time, and EF Education-EasyPost will have to go through a serious trial by fire to defend the Ecuadorian’s yellow jersey. It won’t be easy. Pogacar And Wingegaard They will want to make their first serious attack on the general classification on the Galibier ramps.
A good day to run for the stage win from the ramps of Sestriere. It’s also time to see if the Norwegian can Jonas Abrahamsen is facing some resistance in the fight for the mountains jersey. He has been one of the main protagonists in the three previous stages so far.
We will also have to be very attentive to the Spaniards both in the fight for the general classification and with Pello Bilbao, Carlos Rodriguez and Enric Mas well placed as adventurers who might try to shine during the escape.
We wait no longer and get to work on what we hope will be an exciting day of cycling.
