Pedersen Powers to Victory as Traeen Takes Yellow
- On Tuesday, Danish rider Mads Pedersen won the 4th stage of the 113th Tour de France, a 182 km race from Carcassonne to Foix, while Norwegian Torstein Traeen claimed the yellow jersey.
- An initial 34-man breakaway formed around 25 km into the stage, allowing Traeen to close his five-minute gap on reigning champion Tadej Pogacar; the group narrowed to 10 riders over the final climb.
- Pedersen, the 2019 world champion, secured his third Tour stage victory in a sprint finish ahead of Lidl-Trek team-mate Quinn Simmons, while teammate Mathias Vacek finished 10th and leads the young rider's white jersey competition.
- With the peloton finishing 13 minutes later, Traeen leads the yellow jersey standings by 28 seconds from American Sean Quinn, as reigning champion Pogacar dropped to fourth overall at 7min 53sec, tied with rival Jonas Vingegaard.
- This achievement marks Traeen's second time leading a Grand Tour, making him the third Norwegian to wear the yellow jersey after Thor Hushovd and Alexander Kristoff, following Norway's stunning World Cup victory over Brazil just two days prior.
