CYCLING: Jasper Philipsen won for the second consecutive day in the sprint on Tuesday in Nogaro, at the end of a 181.8 km long and incredibly boring fourth stage of the Tour de France
-
- Like the day before in Bayonne, Jasper Philipsen won the 4th stage of the Tour de France in a sprint after 181.8 kilometres between Dax and the Nogaro racing circuit. The Belgian from Alpecin-Deceuninck also recovers the green jersey.
- With only one hopeless breakaway from Frenchmen Benoît Cosnefroy and Anthony Delaplace, this stage was one of the most boring in the history of the event.
- Adam Yates retains the yellow jersey before the first Pyrenean stage on Wednesday between Pau and Laruns.
The sprinters were expected in Nogaro and they didn’t miss their chance this Tuesday, July 4th. Like the day before in Bayonne, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) imposed his top speed and won this fourth stage of the Tour de France, thanks to a lot of work from his training to launch him. The Belgian was ahead of Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Dstny) and Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious) completed the podium.
Several falls during the bunch sprint
The same podium as the day before, but not quite in the same order. The massive sprint, that the final circuit, was marked by several falls. Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal Quick-Step) notably went down. Axel ZIngle (Cofidis) Jacopo Guarnieri (Lotto-Dstny) also.
Before that, this fourth stage from Dax had not offered the slightest thrill. No rider having decided to take the morning breakaway.
