Cofidis rider Bryan Coquard has won the fourth stage of Tour Down Under. He beat Alberto Bettiol to secure the victory. Jay Vine remains the overall leader.
For the first 30 kilometres of the race, Peloton remained together before the first breakaway occurred. Jonas Rutsch and Daryl Impey established a lead of 1 minute and 27 seconds, which subsequently grew to over 4 minutes.
It was yet another day filled with crashes, Tai Jones crashed hard amongst many other members of the peloton. It wasn't long before Magnus Sheffield, Ben O'Connor, Michael Matthews, Jay Vine, and others caught up with the breakaway duo.
Bryan Coquard was the first to cross the finish line and secure the victory. Alberto Bettiol finished second, and Hugo Page took the bronze.

- Wout is Right. They should be arrested. I mean they can't even protest right. The item holding isn't even Palestinian, its mesopotamia and used by many groups, well before the idea of a Palestinian Arab existed. I just hope the Italian police act but I wouldn't be suprised if they don't. It's time we all stand up to these terror supporters.HoopoeChai17-05-2025
- Not directed at you: Firstly, not going to trust a list that features Jay Vibe 28mins down. Secondly why if gaining 4 seconds over 500km is devastating do we criticise a superlative when Reusser gets ejected 20 seconds over 1km? Thirdly, is Matxin happy to tacitly leave his remaining riders to fight each other at the expense of team structure? I think yes. There’s a cat and there are mice and they can do what they like as long as the cat is away. I’m pretty sure the « selfish « attitude of Ayo is partly due to encouragement, after all, has anyone heard or witnessed him getting disciplined for any initiatives? It’s a little easy and cheap to focus attitude criticism on riders alone, there’s more to it.Mistermaumau17-05-2025
- Its crazy, One Issac del toro is not a climber, Majka will work so he will drop down. That leaves three guys onlyabstractengineer17-05-2025
- This was a mountain sprint, the first summit finish of many. If in the third week he is there and defeats other contenders, then only he will win. Too earlyabstractengineer17-05-2025
- Interesting to see whether del Toro eventually leapfrogs Ayuso in the UAE pecking order. Juan knows he needs to deliver this year or risk losing his ranking within the team.Renz17-05-2025
- Isaac Del T could win this race if they let him.Renz17-05-2025
- We noticed that. Not good enough today, but he needs to be good in the last week.
DareDevil16-05-2025 - Tiny bit too early to draw conclusions. Up till now Ayuso always failed in a big Tour on 1 or 2 days. And Roglic not...DareDevil16-05-2025
