Three-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar won Stage 4 after several late climbs and inched closer to yellow jersey holder Mathieu van der Peul.

Pogacar and Van der Poel have exactly the same overall time of 16 hours, 46 minutes after four stages, and count one stage win each, but Van der Poel kept the yellow jersey because of better finishing positions in the other two stages.

"To win at the Tour is incredible, in this jersey even more and to have 100 victories is amazing. With so many good riders in the final, you’re always a bit on the edge and nervous about what’s going to happen.
