Belgian cyclist Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) won on the fourth day this Tuesday. Tour de FranceMore than 171.5 kilometers were argued between Dunkerque and Calais, and after three seconds at this start of the French led tour, he finally achieved the stage victory, starting from the last level.

Jumbo-Visma broke the stage at 900 meters on the Cote du Cap Blanc-Nez, with an average gradient of 8 percent and about 11 kilometers from the finish. block attack He couldn’t quite follow some INEOS Grenadiers like Adam Yates.

But as soon as Van Aert reached the top and maxed out the last meters of the ascent, gone alone, leaving a broken band behind In a thousand pieces, the Peloton has been largely reworked, but they no longer hunted down a Van Aert who boosted his yellow jersey by ‘flying’ across the Calais finish line to get his seventh stage of the Tour de France.

This even more leader of this Tour in which he won three second places and one victory in four controversial stages. It doesn’t matter for Van Aert if he has 25 and 32 seconds respectively against Yves Lampaert (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team) or Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), as his idea is to repeat the stage win on day five.

Currently, the triple ‘spike’ has achieved its goal of removing the three second ‘thorns’. And it did so with a group strategy that Jumbo-Visma had already used in Paris-Nice, attacking as a group and giving impossible relays for the majority. No single attack. So they eliminated the winner of the third stage, Dylan Groenewegen (Team BikeExchange-Jayco), among others. Many other ‘roosters’ such as Adam Yates or Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) came close to catching them, and it was Tadej Pogacar who suffered the most, the reigning winner. However, all the competitors in the general classification entered the first group, 8 seconds behind, chasing the ‘bird’ Van Aert.

Before the Van Aert show, there was no escape war, no tension success is in teams that can get through fishing at such a stage. As in Denmark, history repeated itself. Denmark’s Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) went on the offensive with French Anthony Perez (Cofidis) after the neutralizing stage. The first is to add points to increase his advantage in the mountain leader jersey. Second, trying to find the scene.

Hostilities broke out, always together, and with 45 kilometers left, just after Cort had crowned the Cote du Ventus, Perez attacked and went alone. He allowed himself to be captured by the Danish peloton, but the French drove alone until the group neutralized him by 11.4 kilometers on the Cote du Cap Blanc-Nez in the rage of the Jumbo-Visma attack.

This Wednesday, eleven cobblestone sections take the stage between Lille and Arenberg (157 kilometers), and that could be decisive. A general competitor can find themselves out of the final fight if they don’t pay attention to cuts or suffer a mechanical setback. Three of the eleven asphalt sections are over 2 kilometers long, with the longest 2.8 kilometers. It is clear that Van Aert will try to repeat his success, but in that classic Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) will try to have his own voice.
