140 km to go: The leading group is now almost four minutes up as Alaphilippe’s Deceuninck-QuickStep is heading the peloton. No dramas so far. This is an arduous start – a false flat as the field snakes into higher terrain; the finish is at a ski station today. There have been few hiding places during this Tour so far.
Stage 4 is underway and we already have a breakaway of 6 riders!
L’étape 4 du #TDF2020 est lancée et une échappée de 6 se forme dès le départ !

150km to go: Krists Neilands and Nils Politt (Israel Start-Up Nation), Tiesj Benoot (Team Sunweb), Alexis Vuillermoz (AG2R La Mondiale), Quentin Pacher (B&B Hotels-Vital Concept) and Mathieu Burgaudeau (Total Direct Energie) are in that breakaway group. It’s a not untalented bunch but they a long way to go to stay away.
