LIVE BLOG! Tour de France 2024 Stage 4: Pogacar wins and takes 30 seconds on Vingegaard and his competition.
CyclingTuesday, 02 July 2024 at 17:17
Two chaotic hilly stages and a very nervous sprint finale have opened up the Tour de France and now there will be another different test. On stage 4 of the Grand Boucle the riders tackle the high mountains for the first time, with the high-altitude Col du Galibier on the menu of a difficult day where Richard Carapaz will try to defend his lead against the likes of Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel.

- What I meant is that he makes humourous comments too often, so it becomes too much, the humour is wasted, and that's why it has been interpreted as arrogant. I'm no Pogačar hater - I do not believe in hate speech towards any rider (well, maybe Mario Cippolini), so let's just agree to disagree on this matter. On a happier note, I would pick Merlier for today's stage, because I think it'll be chaotic, and today is as close as it gets to a one day race
Llywelynglyndwr05-07-2025 - Did the other applicants paperwork 'accidentally' go missing?
santiagobenites05-07-2025 - yeah, so sad...
maria2024202405-07-2025 - Police are better than jihadist with a suicide vest.
Front24205-07-2025 - I find this Pog hating really disturbing. And, ironically, the hating itself often comes across as arrogant. And weird, like when a commentator said, as Pog gave a quick, cheerful smile as a cameraman passed him on a bike, 'There's Pogacar playing up to the cameras'. Then Jonas was filmed really hamming it up for the cameras with a fixed grin and sardonic little wave for at least five seconds, and the commentator said nothing. (Not blaming Jonas, just the biased commentators and reporters)Hill3305-07-2025
- I would take that "not looked at the stages" comment with a pinch of salt. What rider doesn't look at the stage profiles? Plapp knows full well what is ahead of him in the race. This is just a throwaway comment.Cyclingsbestfan05-07-2025
- Roglic gives the best interviews, IMO. He is entertaining and straightforward in a way similar to Peter Sagan. And similar to Vincenzo Nibali, Roglic doesn't boast or make bold predictions. When all factors go right for him, he often delivers the goods. One of my favorite riders in forty years. He and Kuss made a great duo.itsent05-07-2025
- I couldn't agree more, why Soler? He's disobedient, irrational with his absurd "attacks". Only with Pogacar acts as a domestique but disrespects all other team leaders. I don't get why is in the Tour de France or.. even more, why is in the UAE team. A crazy element, a "caballo loco" who doesn't contribute to the teams.maria2024202405-07-2025
- They'll need Soler to assist if Tadej cracks terribly and still want others in the team to keep their podium. That's my guess.
KerisVroom05-07-2025 - bad planning. How do you expect to take advantage if you dont even know the terrain.abstractengineer05-07-2025
Rogliç in better shape than a few days ago, Remco holding up well, this edition could stay interesting until the end.
Nah. It's over. No team can beat UAE. Pity.
Thanks to this site for making this live blog. I stopped reading [a certain site] when they decided to go woke and deny reality, as well as censor comments that called out their BS. Now, with this live blog, I have no need to ever use that site again!
Yes it's good to have but we still need to be civil to each other when commenting or replying.
