The anticipated live of the stage
The sprinting teams locked the race until the intermediate sprint won by Nizzolo, followed by an attack of 20 men who had been waiting for it for an hour.
The Deceuninck let slip to the coast of Saint-Léger-les-Mélèzes and the Jumbo-Visma finish the work in the first kilometers of the final ascent to Orcières-Merlette.
The yellow train rolls fast, very fast, and at this speed, only one man is able to attack: two kilometers from the top, Pierre Rolland plants a banderilla and will never be seen again.
Bernal, Roglic, Dumoulin and Pinot concede ten seconds and are forced to bow to the new yellow jersey of the Tour.
The plume premium.
You'll read it here first.
Yo the Minutas, yo the Minutos.
We meet again for the fourth stage of the Tour de France between Sister Act and Orcières-Merlette, first arrival at altitude of this Great loop 2020. Not enough to create big gaps on the last climb in first category, of course, but maybe the place to show off and grab seconds from the leaders.
Let's not forget that if the breakaway does not go to the end, there will be bonus seconds that will be worth their weight in peanuts to go and get.
But, if mathematically the yellow jersey of Alaphilippe is threatened, it is difficult to see him losing it other than by voluntarily letting the day's breakaway slip away, very far ahead.
