Pogacar Welcomes the Gap as Tour GC Splits
Tadej Pogacar sits about 7:53 behind the yellow jersey on Stage 4 of the Tour de France as Torstein Traeen (Uno-X Mobility) leads the race, a gap he calls a luxury that eases media duties and aids recovery. The stage underscores a two-tier GC emerging, with Traeen and fellow breakaway riders in front while the traditional GC heavyweights chase, and the next mountain test looms with Stage 6 on the Tourmalet.
