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

[Squire]

Bernal dropped, apparently.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Roglic group 2?

Bobke said race radio reported that Roglic is off the front.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Bernal dropped, apparently.

I saw two Ineos riders furiously accelerating from group 2, one of them might have been Bernal.

Roglic had to bridge with some teammates. Was behind in group 2. He’s back indeed.

Bernal dropped, apparently.

What is it with Ineos and their secondary gt riders suddenly being bad at the start of a gt?

 

[Netserk]

Before the intermediate sprint, Gall and Bernal were the last wheels in the peloton.

 

[Didinho]

Wout behind? He targeted this stage for a breakaway win if he didn’t have dom duties. Strange.

 

[Boehmand]

Bini in green? Wouldn't that be something.

No, Abramachine needed to take 5th to still be ahead on point at the end of the stage - and he got 5th - then promptly dropped to the sprinters groupetto

Girmay is in 2nd, Pedersen in 3rd, both really close to the lead.

 

[BubbaChuck]

roglic looks bad.wtf.

Not a good day to have a bad day.

Agreed. I’m trying to figure out if there is a mistake in reports

 

[Peyroteo94]

Roglic will lose a lot today

 

[Brullnux]

Maybe there is a small chance van Aert could be in the mix tomorrow. Gradients not that steep after all.
From cyclinguptodate:

With the stage ending with a post-Galibier descent however, van Aert himself is fancying his chances of success.
"Normally that's something that suits me," the Belgian admits. "What my role will be, will still have to be determined. It depends on how the other guys do in supporting Jonas. Based on that, we can decide what I'm going to do.

Bad luck continues the plaque Team Visma | Lease a Bike in 2024. Despite the overwhelmingly positive performance of Jonas Vingegaard so far at the Tour de France, Wout van Aert was denied a chance to...

Hm, starting to think this won't happen

 

[Boehmand]

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!

Much too soon to call Philipsen out of it, he can still win a bunch of stages, and climbs close to the same level of both of them when he needs to.

 

[BubbaChuck]

how is uae looking,ayuso and almeida.

 

[Netserk]

Soler and Wellens can't shut the door.

 

[Didinho]

Agreed. I’m trying to figure out if there is a mistake in reports

He’s in the 2nd group so he won’t win today. Not as good as everyone (and himself) thought.

I agree Philipsen is still the favourite but Pedersen is climbing at a really top level, I don't think Philipsen comes close

 

[Boehmand]

LOL - UAE riders at the front pointing to the riders they will let go, and close down everyone else

"You get a breakaway, and you get a breakaway"

 

[BubbaChuck]

its chaos today.love it.

 

[CleanCiclismo]

Nice to see UAE at least trying to put someone in the break.

Wout behind? He targeted this stage for a breakaway win if he didn’t have dom duties. Strange.

That doesn't work for me, brother!

 

[BubbaChuck]

soler needs to go.

 

[Boehmand]

There is no way Jayco is sending Mr. Big Gear Juul-Jensen in the break, unless Yates has plans on the stage.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Reports 3 Celsius or 37 Fahrenheit on the top of the Galibier.
