GOOD LUCK
Might win to who might cross the line ahead of everybody else here’s confirmation before we do that of the result results at the point up there at the top of the Mariah Bono took it ahead of bat saaan Mardis was the rider in third place but since then
He’s decided to go forward as we can see there the pelaton is hunting down the chasing group Bono and Baton they’re going to be caught very very soon it’s going to leave one solo leader at the front of this stage four of the alula tour likely winners for today then give
Us your winners at H mcross as well you can get hold of me on social media but certainly teams let’s run through them who are they riding for today ma Star Riding for davidi chimala they said before the start that that is going to be the card they’re going to play but
They will keep Ford Malo up towards the front as well UAE team Emirates riding for Sebastian malano they’ve lost the New Zealand and Michael Vin Bahrain Victorious are riding for Duan rovic also Fred Wright is going to try and stay near the front as much as possible to try and win the
Stage he’s also looking for tomorrow to try and finish as high up in the G classification as he possibly can Jak alula they’ve lost Dylan gron ofan so their Sprinter probably is going to be luk meets today Tardis has gone into time trial mode s our Quick Step they’ve got
Opportunities today they’ll be looking for Tim merer again to win back-to-back stages Uno X are going with saen violence gold kidus are going with Brian card to try and win after conson took the victory last year DSM are going with Casper Van uden I think we’ll see a
Little bit of a duel Sprint from a St for hok Mahan and also sitaa will be their two key riders for today’s stage Bor hrow with soero Tim malier with mentioned that the sudal quickstep team we know that total ener going to ride with a Milan jenier they would have normally gone
With Jason Tesson but Jason Tesson has been a bit sick over the last few days the same as Dylan Groner and so he said the team has decided to swap over over to another Rider and try amelon janer Number 103 as their possible winner of today’s
Stage usat usad will go with abot chuko number 111 we’ll see q36.5 you can play their jingle now that’s their radio station Mato mosetti we’ll also see Tuda go with that probably arid decline ten will just have well of course this rider in the lead but Mai couldas they keep
Him up towards the front as well uh roui I think are just going to give free reign to any one of their Riders one Rider who’s a definite favorite is mato Michelli used to ride for the Bingo team he wears number 166 riding for JCL team
Ukio that’s going to be their option to try and win today’s stage I’ve got confirmation from the team of Jak alula that they are going with Luca meeds today as their possible Sprinter to try and win the stage and that’s not a bad call for them he can
Win Sprints if he’s given that opportunity and he takes it Luca meets will uh finish up at the front of today’s stage 55 seconds they can have to work a little bit niftily here to bring this Rider back into the fold Casper Van uden is stating his
Intentions by staying near the front all of the time with his entire Squad lined out in front of him looking after him Dean cold Neil zikov Enzo liner they just lost Nicholas marle Tim neighbor Bram Von other Riders who are just surrounding him making sure that he stays out of the
Wind got to get this finish right today as you can see because you’ve got to pace this climb perfectly you don’t want to go too early you don’t want to be the rider on the front with 50 MERS to go and then suddenly everybody rushes past
You I think I’m right saying it’s a tail wig finish it’s quite hard to get any gauge of that because you look out the commentary box window and there’s just rocks here’s the moment that Bono went for that intermediate Sprint no real Flags to tell but it looks to me like it’s
Remained a Tailwind finish for the Riders and here’s the moment that milard has decided right I’m going to go It Alone see if I can win today’s stage he’s doing a good job isn’t he he settled himself in he keeping a nice high Cadence big gear engaged on the
Bike hasn’t looked round at all just keeping the pace as much as possible staying as low as he possibly can over those handlebars 27 years of age from Cyprus comes from a pace called palori orenes sign for terano as we run through the squad there Mardis used to ride for
The gos team which was a continental team and also Road for club team in 2023 he’s had 13 wins in his career so far finished ninth overall in the tour of Hass well he’s giving this team something to shout about today and we know he’s got an awful lot
Of power so he’s going to really try and hold on as far as he possibly can it takes the pressure off the rest of his Squad of course they’re not one of the favorite teams cuz there’s a lot of World Tour teams in here but Teran Gano
Are riding out of their skin this week so far moving up on the right hand side stating their intention the team of JCL team ukio leading that Squad towards the front so far is gavani cbone of Italy but locked in on the wheel behind him is maluch Celli
Moving up as well is William Jor lerf he’s on the wheel of the team ukio squads wearing number 93 we spotted him yesterday he was the rider who was in all the different echelons he’s a slight Rider 21 years of age but he’s starting to make a name for
Himself already L Surf just seeing how powerful he is he’s got a style that’s not much different to Maro Van Sant but doesn’t quite move around the bike quite as much comes from near the uamont very very useful bike rider he’s hoping he can get an opportunity to ride
A grand tour by the end of the year maybe given an opportunity to ride love Welter but yet again sudal quick stepper found another very talented young bike rider speaks perfect French went to a French school got into cycling because of his dad his dad was never a professional
Bike rider but loved racing loved riding his bike and he said it’s thanks to him that he’s here that he decided to become a professional bike rider only 15.7 kmers to go 45 seconds is now the lead for our solo Rider more teams moving up on the right hand
Side filipo kcha moves up they’ve got mosetti but they’ve also got Jan Luca average speed so far 432 km an hour B hands gr moving up on the right right hand side bringing forward their Riders yonas H moves up brings forward onto the wheel niik Den who might be an
Opportunity for n Den today if they don’t go with soero n Den is an opportunist 15 kilometers to go for miltiadis now things are starting to hurt we get a sudden acceleration a little bit of a surge there the Serbian Champion oh bumping around zorovich problem is that the Riders come
Out the shelter of the Rocks so the wind starts to blow and you suddenly get an opportunity for an Echelon it’s right on the border right on the limit today this is Luka meets he’s the ride of the Sprinter foro alula today can he give them the win they’re looking for
They thought they would get the win with Dylan groven on stage one that didn’t happen since then Gran’s been sick problem here for two Riders uh ammed Madan also Finley Pickering just in front young British Rider heard Finley Pickering give his first professional interview the other day I wasn’t entirely sure that
The Saudi speaker would understand everything that Finley was talking about it was uh filled with some Northern uh slang it was I said to him afterwards that was uh that was entertaining and I think Fred Wright found it the same that’s vanan gold wearing number 41 getting himself ready harv dec’s going
To give this a good go for the Tuda team in the red and black another big move on the right hand side and that looked like Pier lur but he decided not to attack just goes to the front to look after the interests of their squad and as I mentioned earlier
On they are going to ride with thean jier sud on quickstep getting ready only 13.6 kmet to go for the end of stage four of this alula tour there’s an awful lot of talking going on in this peton teams looking for their sprinters trying to lock it in to get
This Victory there’s only one chance now for the sprinters and that’s today tomorrow will be all about the climb as you won’t see a sprinter in sight at the end of tomorrow’s stage as we make our way to the sky view looking back down over the alula Oldtown
Everybody knows what a tough climb it is Pelon now at 61 km an hour once for a while it looked like Mardis was going to hold on much closer to the race finish now it’s looking increasingly likely he’s going to be caught now this is a tricky section of
Road a Leander loads of sand across this corner you then work your way through a little residential area there’s a lot of little edges of the road you’ve got to be careful of there’s sand on the road there’s a little bit of grit this is not an easy section and you
Don’t want to be anywhere near the back moving up on the right hand side doing a great job the Tuda Pro cycling team the red jersey of Tim Mia is ever present at the front Casper Van uden has disappeared for a little moment M star in the blue colors on the right hand
Side looking strong with formo and chimala D Co still near the front looking after Casper Van uden lot narrower roads now in this section desert left and right little fence is that bank the side of the roads there’s another couple of quite tight turns coming up shortly chudder have got this one really
Well controlled on the left hand side of that helicopter shot as we look with mistar on the other side barin Victorious looking after rovic everybody safely through that little section now the pelaton can see our solo leader he’s done a wonderful job for his terano team riding that polygon bike to good
Effect but milti Aris looks like he’s going to be caught a 3% gradient now that will just give a little bit more pain to the legs so so give us your predictions we’ve run through the various options someone might surprise us though and a problem on the left hand
Side for one of the Uno X Riders Pon loses the pedals and loses the gear baren gold needs him Stephanie tunder has gone for sain varen gold as today’s winner let’s see if that happens total energy fully committed in the Middle with the blue shorts riding these new Envy bikes the team getting
Used to to those new machines chuda look absolutely Ready for today’s stage don’t they the way they’re riding lovely Golden Light in the background that brings those rocks to Life as a backdrop to the color of this peleton 29 seconds only 10 kilometers now to go
Mardis is still holding on he’s doing a wonderful job still riding at 47 kilometers an hour at times he’s refusing to give in he going to get a little bit notice today after this performance teams are always looking for strong time trialist Riders who can ride
On the front for long periods of time or get in breakaways Tuda quite happy to sit on the left hand side as we look the team of Fabian kelara really easy to pick out aren’t they with that black kit the red the white you think back to the times that
Fabian kelara was in the colors of CSC with their black red and white looked dis similar in terms of the touch of the different kits really stands out very bold in the way that the sponsors are presented this is a tricky section now another left and a right and another
Turn coming up here as they make their way into the next section oh and a little bit of coming together of a couple of riders there but they safely got through the turn another big move as Riders on the front make life very diff difficult for the Riders at the
Back little bit of cycle across on the left hand side oh problem there for one of the Asana Riders look like Anton kman again having an issue another left-hander comes up is going left and right of that pole that Telegraph Pole and this is not the place to
Be it’s why Sports directors always say move up mazuki is finding out exactly why so it’s chuda still on the left hand side in the red and black barin victorious in the white with the turquoise colors alongside in the white with the white helmets and blue shorts
Total energy right hand side it is the team of M star mon AI kudas is tucked in on the wheel of the total energy train as he looks to just make sure he stays in position coming out of that turn nice wide roads now with 8.2 kilometers to
Go don’t forget our solo leader Andreas Mardis is still hanging out there at the moment 23 seconds his lead he’s making life hard for this pelaton and there he is turns around has a little look gives himself some renewed motivation little Sprint up this section this is a hard little
Rise he’s looking for the quickest way to the Finish Line This is bat saan who was originally in the Breakaway now being dropped those legs must be hurting after a hard day in the saddle q36.5 have decided they need to do something about this as well so they
Start to form up their train you notice that Riders having to Sprint forward and move to the left to get themselves into position it’s really hard to be able to do that but it’s the only way to get across to your team so now we have the
Colors latel in the orange right in the middle of this peleton now as they try to position their Sprinter for today that will be abot chuko andon Abit chuko and still Mardis is 17 seconds away seven kilometers to go dropping a second every kilometer at the moment

There also down on the deck is Vango also hitting the deck is Luke H Lucas Hamilton here’s the moment they came out of that turn oh and it was the tudah rider on the front looked like he pulled his foot out hit the rider to the left hand side but everybody else then
Came down behind him one Rider hit the deck very very hard from q36.5 well the aana rider that we thought might get a chance today h mul brahan he was hitting the deck there and that will have shaken a few Riders up particularly the Riders trying to win
This race overall there is a distinct split in the pelaton now and a number of riders have been left behind 5.2 kilometers to go Brian cochard hitting the front maybe a little bit too early and Riders getting themselves back on the bikes now VAR vangala q36.5 Rider really hit the deck
Hard and having come down it’s Milano he’s on the deck Sebastian Milano is down they Sprinter for the day oh that’s bad news for him so Milano is uh he’s down he’s going to try and continue now oh and one of the Uno X Riders goes
Into the Sand 5 km to go I think in all of that mil the Aris has now been caught by the pelaton a little narrowing as Riders breathe in to try and get themselves through and he’s wondering if the collar bone might be broken hok Mahan let’s hope not Boran moving up in the green on the left hand side shakman brings forward niik Den also on the wheel is soero the surf moves up in the colors of the sudal quickstep team now M Star get ready four and a half kilometers to go
Left hand side in the colors of UAE with the white Shades as Rafal M the wind is a little bit strong in this section but Alexander de Mar with the bandage on that chin the three stit J and theur arm is moving forward Simon Yates is there just looking to see where
Luca meets is but it looks like some of the key Riders May well be at the front and fancying this one Yates is in the wheels big move on the right hand side q36.5 trying to get themselves into position they are locked in and right in on the Wheel
Look like Joey rosoff is their Bor hands grower are up towards the front now with saero ready to go ven sc’s quite a long way back but he’ll be patient he’s very very good at that remember that Michelli moves up for the team of JCL T muko he’s

Now Boran grower they look like they’re going to try and unleash something here Casper Van uden didn’t come down in that crash so he moves up in the green jersey with Dean cold now taking control of the entire front of the peleton D Ferman postnl now in control but here
Come mvar as de Co tries to close them down take control take front position which he does so he moves up he brings his next Rider onto the front of him so that he can set the formation exactly how he wants him Yamamoto is up there the Japanese Champion he’s trying to
Maneuver Malachi into position we’re up at to the Ws of Mariah now two 8 km to go who’s going to win this Sprint it was consone last year who burst out of the pack and used his track prowess to win this stage cocka is there he’s asking his teammates to try and put
Him into the right position a little bit of shouting going on as David chimala moves up on the wheel of his teammates for the Marv Star team and now we start to see the pressure and the gning of the Riders faces as they feel the pain baring Victorious are ready on the left

Put himself in the right place face chuda moving up chuda moving up towards the front oh and here is Harvard decline so they’re going to have to go with another opportunity here on this one they might go with the white jersey Rick pler De and cold peels off 1600 meters
To go with Casper Van oudin in a perfect position and they are going to go with Rick plers he’s in the white jersey cocky is still there he’s still got a teammate there’s a little bit of a gap back to the Bor hand grow Rider further back is Tim Mia Tim Mia is
Trying to get on terms and there’s that lovely shot all the way back from the Finish Line 1200 meters to go they’re about to go through the red kite past the Mariah 1,000 M of racing to go on stage four a really huge turn of pace now the
Last 800 M pretty much all uphill now now they’re going to make this right hand turn swooping right hander another swooping right hander and then it’ll feel like the brakes have come off because you’ll get a bit of a Tailwind then you’ve got to time this to absolute
Perfection to win today’s stage it’s still DSM Ferman postnl Casper Van uden is up there in that green jersey malier is fighting Brian cckar just behind them as Luca metet and Rick climers who is in the white jersey just a trail in a little bit behind from the
Q36.5 team is Mata mosti now the Sprint goes look at Tim malier what a burst of pace malier is looking for stage win number two tracked by Brian cckar but has mer got a pace to go all the way to the finish line here comes the Frenchman
Cocky is going to try and challenge him on the other side of the road is it going to be a victory for kides it’s a photo finish Brian ccka points to him and says this one’s mine did he get Tim malier on the line it looked like he did he celebrates well
We’ve been asking him every single day is today your day and it looks like Brian cckar May well have just got it Kar celebrates Malia what an attack that was we’re going to take a little look at the replay let’s take a look at how this happened Brian cckar was so focused
Today pushing people out the way he knows that his teammate consone won this one before look at Mera go ccka is two or three bik length behind Rick plers is also there as they go for the line Casper vanan is desperately trying to hold on in third place but here goes
Cckar with 100 met to go does he get past Tim Malia big sprint they throw their bikes at the Finish Line oh ccka celebrates but that looks like a photo finish oh and Tim Mia takes it Tim Mia takes the victory ahead of Brian cckar who’s celebrated but it’s the Belgian
Ridder who takes backto back Wis what a finish Tim Mal didn’t celebrate cckar did but it is the red jersey who takes win number two in this alula tour that was very very Close what a long Sprint from Tim B pass the Mariah it always gives us a special finish oh Kar celebrated so early there didn’t he saying that he’d won it here’s the front shot as they go for the Finish malier is so strong they throw their bikes and they always say claim it cckar
Celebrates takes the win as far as he’s concerned but actually it was meria who takes the win for the team of sudal quickstep Casper Van uden in third place look at Tim merer as he throws the bike second place for the Frenchmen first place for Tim Mera who wins race number
Two back-to-back wins look at Brian cooch are celebrating all the way through we look out over the Banyon tree one of the most exclusive hotels in this area pretty unique uh these rooms at the banion Tree well once the floodgates open you start to win backto back races like the timia has won the last two sprints let’s take a look at confirmation of the result of stage four from hegra to the Mariah Tim Malia wins ahead of Brian cochard Casper Van uden
Wins in uh finishes in third place Rick P was in fourth Luka meets in fifth it was mosetti who was in sixth place today that’s the rundown of the top 10 finished by je of the team of tot energy here’s the Finish again the last kilometer of racing
Very fast tempo into the swooping right hand bends Malia went so early in this Sprint there he is side by side with cckar they go shoulder toos shoulder just bouncing him out the way he wants the wheel of Casper Van oudin Malia moves up on the right hand side
And then goes so early what a surge to the Finish Line luk gets right on the wheel here’s Mia going early 300 M was the Sprint took an age for card to get onto the wheel even here he’s a couple hundred couple of bike length away at 100 meters
And he’s getting closer and closer and closer wow and he claims it Malia looks at Brian cckar and thinks are you sure let’s hear then from Tim merer the winner of stage four of the alula tour today what a close finish that was Tim a different uh finish but the same outcome
Another Victory you must be very satisfied with those legs of course was a hard exercise in the end I was in the wind uh with 400 to go and Brian then let me pass in the wheel so then I decide I go from far on I know I
Have this in the legs and I think before 3 me to go up finish a go already and uh yeah now I’m uh really uh P pun pun you saw you saw the climb just before because it was a loop you need to have a hell of a confidence to to do
What you did oh yeah yes I know uh I can do this this long effort um and I tried because I was in the v otherwise was also uh not possible anymore to win and uh yeah if you don’t try you can’t win so uh but I’m happy uh it was just
Enough on the Finish Brian he say he won but I was not sure and uh I’m happy is I’m in this in this seat now it was a pretty stressful day quite a few crashes uh some wind uh going left going right uh stressful now yes yes it was the I think most
Stressful stage of this week uh I don’t know why because was less went um but okay in the end we make it only one Rider of our team crashed so I hope he is great we went through some of the most beautiful places of uh Saudi Arabia hegra the start Mariah here did
You have the opportunity to watch the landscape a bit a bit uh we saw it already uh when we uh uh were coming to the press conference there we saw it already uh now on the bike we have some uh some views but not a lot of time uh
To watch otherwise with the with the things on the road Small Things uh too much too much risk to crash the other good news is that uh the green jersey is going on your shoulders uh there’s also uh a good thing but uh I was focing on
Focus on the stage and not uh I was not busy with the with the Jersey tomorrow is for one of your teammates a young Rider a young promising Rider perhaps yes uh I have a lot of confidence in him uh let’s hope he can show his uh his
Legs tomorrow also about William thank you very much Tim Tim M’s a little tired after that Sprint well he was as unsure as we all were that Brian cochar had taken that Victory big sprint 300 M absolutely flat out up here and if you come here ever
You’ll realize just what a hard climb this is look at the way that he’s going Brian are working so hard to try and get on terms and get on terms he did straight into the slipstream now he starts to dive past and this is the moment where Malia starts to tie up a
