2025 total France fam a swift stage 4 recap. Let’s jump in. Stage four was 130.7 km with only 750 m of elevation as they went from Zmo to Pier. A nice and flat stage for the riders before heading into Helia terrain tomorrow in stage five. One thing I do want to mention was that it was great to see Demi Volerang on her bike at the start of the stage today after her super nasty crash yesterday. We weren’t too sure the extent of her injuries. She made it through the stage and that was great to see. As I mentioned in yesterday’s recap, she didn’t lose any time on GC thankfully because of the 5 km rule where if there is any crashes that happen in the last 5 km, then everyone in that group gets the same time. So, it doesn’t affect GC battle. It means that there’s a lot safer racing that can happen and these are normally on sprint stages. There was a huge threat of crosswinds in today’s stage. Crosswinds mean that there are a lot of opportunities for time to be taken. Splits can happen. There’s a lot of uncertainty. Riders can get super nervous. And this is why it took a little bit of time for a breakaway to be established today. Mud Rinbeck of Voga Vessels has already been in a number of breakaways in this year’s tour already, but she was back at it again. One of the first to attack and get out front. She was joined by France from Picnic Post NL and also Toota Magaliss from Moistar. These three riders worked together and got up to a lead of about 1 minute 30 seconds, but the Pelaton was pushing on, especially due to these crosswinds. US rider and Olympic champion Kristen Forner has really been struggling these past couple of days. She’s acknowledged it in interviews and again was struggling in today’s stage, especially with the fast-paced nature of it and the crosswinds to deal with too. Despite this, her team EF Education Oly did a wonderful job today of supporting her and bringing her back to the main group. At around 60 km to go, Maud Reinbeck was dropped from the breakaway. Fair play to her. She’s been out front for a lot of kilometers this tour already. I’m sure this won’t be the last time we’ll see her out front, but that was the end of the breakaway for her today. The intermediate sprint at 42.9 km to go followed a very similar pattern to yesterday with Lorenna Weebas and Marianos battling it out with Weebas taking 17 points to add to her lead in a green jersey competition with Marian Voss getting 15 points. With just 10 km to go, the breakaways lead was down to just 20 seconds. SD works were making their final operations for the sprint with Anna Vanderben on the front handing it over to Lotto Capeki to lead things out for Lorenna Weebas. In the final kilometer, sprinter teams like Canyon Shramm on Krypto and Uno X were pushing full throttle ahead. But it was Lorena Weebas who came victorious two in a row for her. Marinavas was on her will again, but just didn’t quite have enough power despite lunging for the line. It’s not all bad for Marinos, though. She extends her lead in the GC to 12 seconds. Lorena Weebas moves into second place ahead of Kim Laort. Check out the caption below for a full rundown of who’s wearing what jersey after today’s stage. Tomorrow we head to the hills. The GC battle is about to begin and you’re not going to want to miss it.
