The fourth day of racing in France at the Critérium du Dauphiné may be crucial for the overall classification. The mountains still lay ahead, however before reaching them the gaps will be made extensively, as a 32-kilometer long time-trial will allow the specialists to make a difference and for the yellow jersey to be at stake.
On the map there isn’t much to analyze, it’s a rather flat time-trial with only a shallow ascent into the second intermediate point, but it’s largely ridden in straightforward roads and should be one for the specialists to thrive in.
Stage 4: Montbrison - La Bâtie d’Urfé, 31.9Km
