Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 4: Pinerolo > Valloire, 139.6 km

[RobertCrawley]

Beats me. I still don't understand how having 4 superdomestiques for climbing part would help (if Vinge is close to 100%).

In addition to breaking win and reducing effort, the superdoms give bidons, food, a wheel to follow, emergency bike change, encouragement, marking attacks by competitors, etc.

 

[Netserk]

Soler leading the peloton, Politt with him.

 

[Didinho]

UAE not letting 6 riders up front. Pogi wants the stage.

 

[Netserk]

Perfect company for Poels.

 

[Netserk]

7 km to the intermediate sprint.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Alpecin will surely be on the front soon shutting this down to prevent Pedersen cleaning up at the intermediate sprint

 

[scribers]

Mads will pull the pin after the sprint points

 

[Didinho]

First time seeing Mathieu in front. Ready to launch Philipsen soon.

 

[Netserk]

Alpecin with both Philipsen and MvdP near the front, ready for the intermediate.

 

[AmRacer]

Full gas.

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert has moved up near the front again. He can use the sprint to get in the break.

 

[scribers]

MVP cheeky!

 

[Netserk]

The 2 km up to the sprint is 3-4 %.

 

[Squire]

Are you still a Giro-guy after the last 3-4 editions? Cause really, Im not anymore...

The last few years have certainly made life as a Giro guy harder.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Bini in green? Wouldn't that be something.

 

[Samamba]

FDJ panicking taking Martinez with them cause of Gaudu's covid last week is insane. He was obviously far from ready.

 

[Didinho]

Pedersen strong!

Time for a break to form now.

 

[AmRacer]

So, do they have power for a break after this start?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Mads impressive

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Philipsen only 4th at that sprint there, got proper cooked. Good signs for the Green jersey competition!

Pedersen very impressive.

 

[Netserk]

Ineos try to get in the break with a few riders.

 

[Netserk]

Standings in the points competition after the intermediate:

 

[DarkBlue]

WTF is Lenny doing here

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Bini in green? Wouldn't that be something.

Looks like Bini and Mads will be keeping each other company fighting for the green for the rest of the Tour, they seem to like each other, fun to see!

 

[Didinho]

Roglic group 2?
