Published 4 days, 13 hours ago
Description
Stage 4 was run in genuinely brutal conditions — 44 degrees on the road, no heat protocol in effect, and a peloton that paid for it. Alex and Max break down a day where the tactics mattered as much as the legs.

- Trek's perfectly played hand — sending their lead-out men up the road instead of controlling the bunch
- The GC gift that handed a brand new team their first-ever Tour de France race lead
- Norway's incredible week continues — on the bike and at the World Cup
- Tudor and Astana's rough day missing the moves that mattered
- Kelland O'Brien's tough day and missing the time cut
- The UCI celebration rule, sticky bidons, and where the fine pool sits so far this Tour
- Last night's Café du Cycliste kit winner revealed 🎽
- Stage 5 preview: the sprinters finally get their shot into Pau
- Tonight's prize: Hyro electrolytes to help survive the heat 💧
