Tour de France 2025 GC Update: Thrilling stage 4 finale sees Tadej Pogacar & Mathieu van der Poel tied for time at the top
Cycling
In an absolutely spectacular finale to stage 4 at the 2025 Tour de France, the stars of the race came out to play once again. Tadej Pogacar prevailed, taking the 100th pro win of his career, but it wasn't quite enough to wrestle the Maillot Jaune from the shoulders of Mathieu van der Poel.
Thanks to Van der Poel just edging Jonas Vingegaard for 2nd place at the finish line in Rouen, the Alpecin-Deceuninck leader and his UAE Team Emirates - XRG counterpart are currently tied for time at the top of the general classification standings. On countback however, Van der Poel just has the advantage over Pogacar, meaning the Dutchman carries on his stint in Yellow for another day.
The aforementioned Vingegaard then follows in 3rd overall at 8 seconds down, with his Team Visma | Lease a Bike teammate Matteo Jorgenson following in 4th at 19 seconds. White Jersey leader Kevin Vauquelin then completes the top at 26 seconds down.
As the time gaps push towards the minute mark already, Enric Mas is 6th (+48), Oscar Onley and Joao Almeida are 55 seconds down in 7th and 8th before Remco Evenpeoel (+58) and Mattias Skjelmose (+1:02) round out the top-10. Notably, Primoz Roglic now sits 13th at +1:27.

Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - i did not see it. was the relegation justified or an overly hard decision? and don‘t cross riders deviate from straight lines all the time? bumping into each others when they cut corners, etc … why being more strict with the rules on the finish sprint?Ketterechts08-11-2026

- The UCI do have their favorites.
Front24208-11-2026 - On a positive note, you maybe notice turning this topic into a discussion has the benefit of eliminating certain participants who do not see how they can turn it back to their sole interest ;-)Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- People see what they want to. I am actually the opposite of your accusation, probably more of a rebel than most of you who don’t get the big picture. The difference is, I don’t go moaning publicly about the consequences of my transgressions, I understand the need for rules and I take my OWN responsibility when deciding to ignore or break them or doing so involuntarily. I will also not hesitate to state my case or argue vehemently when relevant, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse but that’s the price to pay for principles and having character.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- That may be but that was unknown to others and nothing says that’s the whole truth. Again, don’t try to misinterpret, it is a call and technically it is correct. Besides, even if there is a valid reason, that does not disqualify the ruling or punishment as far as the rules have been developed. I don’t think they’re as far as in football where for handball there is a distinction (in some ways and specific cases) between intentional or not. And football can be just as harsh and people live with it, eg the offside rule, also judged to within tiny fractions but often wrong or ignored. It’s the nature of every collective organisation and sometimes I wonder if our rebellion against it isn’t seated in the feelings we carry from the injustices we’ve felt personally, like being flashed driving 1km/h too fast when we are explained limits are just a security measure but we are absolutely certain not to have endangered anyone with our transgression. The problem is, nobody has better solutions and no 2 people have the same interpretation of where a limit should be.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Because for you deviated implies the other rider MUST have been made to fall and fail to finish ??? I don’t know if you ride a bike but next time someone carves you up or drives dangerously close, just hold back from those feelings of changing something, reporting or filming or even complaining. Everyone will just say, hey you’re still here undamaged, doesn’t seem like anyone did anything.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
