PREVIEW | Tour of the Alps 2025 stage 4 - Another challenge for Michael Storer's GC lead

From the 21st to the 25th of April the World Tour - and not only - peloton will tackle the single most important preparation race into the Giro d'Italia: The Tour of the Alps. Every year, it provides a lot of climbing opportunities for the men preparing for the first Grand Tour of the year and now is no exception. We preview stage 4.

The fourth day of racing features 3400 meters of climbing, half of which in the first half - the climb of 7.8Km at 8% mainly - and then a combination of three climbs to wrap up the day. This will be quite tricky, they are shorter and steeper climbs, with steep descents inbetween and a rolling finale, which means that a lot of scenarios can play out. The climbs are 4.6Km at 8.3%; 2.2Km at 10% and 7.6Km at 5.8%. The GC fight could well erupt in the penultimate climb.

*** Michael Storer
** Giulio Ciccone, Jai Hindley, Derek Gee
* Max Poole, Paul Seixas, Romain Bardet, Jefferson Alexander Cepeda

Pick: Derek Gee
