During the fourth stage of the Tour de France, Mads Pedersen emerged victorious following a breakaway that lasted over 150 kilometers, completing the stage in extreme heat conditions reaching 40°C. The challenging weather prompted Tour organizers to implement emergency measures to safeguard the riders.
As a result of the stage's outcome, Torstein Træen, a cancer survivor, secured the yellow jersey, overtaking Tadej Pogačar after he had held it previously. Træen built an impressive eight-minute lead on Pogačar during the race, which was characterized by strenuous conditions that tested the endurance of all participants. Pogačar's loss of the yellow jersey marks a significant shift in the competition as the Tour de France continues.
