The fourth stage of the Tour of Slovenia took the riders 152.4km from Laško to Velika Planina, Rafal Majka finished the line first while Tadej Pogacar joined his teammate with second position.
“I am very happy with this victory.I want to thank Tadej and the whole team. We got through the last climb well knowing that Tadej could do better than everyone here, but he still left me the stage win," the Pole admited after the finish. He and Pogacar went clear on the final climb of the day and had enough lead to comfortably cross the line, even jokingly playing 'rock-paper-scissors' before crossing the line in celebration.
"We have won three stages and we are leaders of the General Classification. Every day we give our best trying to stay in control of the race be as good as we can for Tour de France,” he concluded. . He holds the second position in GC after stage 4 while his teammate Tadej Pogacar is the overall leader in GC, and UAE Team Emirates are unlikely to be shook in the final day of the race.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
