This Wednesday was the 4th stage of Dauphiné criteriuma time trial of 17.4 km between Charmes-sur-Rhône and Saint-Péray, And we witnessed a first upheaval in the general classification. The Belgian Remco Evenepoel (Sudal Quick-Step) won the time hands down, 21 seconds ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | lease a bike) and 38 seconds on Matteo Jorgenson (Visma | Lease a Bike). Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) finished 4th at 49 seconds from the Belgian, and performs the very bad operation of the day. For the Danish, this time is a good operation. He gets ahead of Pogacar general and remains less than 20 seconds from the leader Evenepoel.

“Mountain stages will be decisive this weekend”
After arrival, Jonas Vingegaard returned to his time: “I can be quite satisfied with the course of this stage. Remco is the best roller in the world, so only lose 20 seconds on him today is rather decent. I also take time in Tadej, so I'm quite happy with my performance. I did not have any problems on this time, I was just short of gear. But I don't think it really changed something, I would just be needing the faster games. Significantly saved, not even 5 seconds.he concludes.
