This was a sprint stage, period. Perhaps a somewhat reduced bunch sprint lacking a few of the sprinters because of that final climb but nailed on for a sprint nonetheless.

I think they made the right call, if he waits for Jonas and Yates he lets the peloton get closer too and it may give other GC teams an incentive to chase where as now only the sprinter teams were pulling. I don't think the possibility of gaining a couple of seconds on Pogacar was worth the risk.

Great job on the coverage. The TV coverage said Roglic was nowhere to be found when VA took off. But here we can see that he wasn't that far back at all.

Come for the race commentary, stay for the "Ka kaaaaaaaaa!"

This is a great long term play. It’s a 21 stage race. This gave WVA a larger gap in the yellow as well as the green, plus the stage win. It also allowed TJV to sit on for a free ride when everyone is killing themselves to pull back WVA. In stages to come, TJV will now have those matches to spend to further their team and their GC contenders. 3 of the top 7 ain’t bad.

WvA made a judgement call coming off that climb. He knew how fresh he was and how fresh his teammates were. He knew he had the legs to go for it, as well as teammates behind who could possibly slow the train. The peloton failed. If they’d stopped thinking about their individual teams and worked together as a solid group, they’d have brought WvA back easily. He was pulling away for half of the flat because the peloton couldn’t get their shit together. It was the perfect storm and WvA profited. The peloton should have seen this move coming. You don’t get to be a Red Bull rider because you’re average.

Racing a la pedale. It’s not just a choice, it’s a lifestyle. When you’re the best, you don’t stop to calculate, you go for it. It might not always bring you the best results and it brings you incredible love from the supporters. That’s why Ineos / Sky is generally unpopular and people love the likes of Sagan and Alaphilippe so much. That was definitely the good call from Wout.

Wout should NOT have waited for Jonas. There would have been much more of an impetus to chase if there had been a GC player up front pre-cobbles, particularly since a lot of Ineos and UAE were in the second group. If they’d committed to the chase from the off by adding to the sprint trains, given they still got within 8 seconds even with Alpecin being totally unaware Van Aert was still out there, they’d have almost certainly mopped him up and the stage win and top points would have been out of the question. Van Aert was flying on a move that would have won him a Monument at that point - let him do his thang. The team will thank him for it later. First non-mountain, non-TT stage won by the race leader of the Tour de France since Fabian Cancellara ambushed the peloton in 2007 - Van Aert is the Cancellara of our generation, and probably even more versatile.

Disagree. Why would Jonas follow Wouts attack up the hill and waste any energy at all? Jonas and Primoz should just sit on Tadej wheel until the mountains then. Surprise attacks don’t always work but you have to try. The goal is gc. If you can take a chance to get some time then take it. Get as much buffer as you can any chance you can get it.

I only saw WVA during 10 km with a solo that kept a big group of cyclists behind him. That is my opinion. Wout is a fantastic Belgian cyclist !!

It seems Laporte losing the wheel of Jonas caused the final gap between the front group and Rog + the Ineos boys. If Rog was ahead of him he'd be with WVA 100%. We were metres away from an even more insane display

5:55 - Some really cool panoramic shots of Wout Gotta say, that climb looked hella unassuming on the stage profile, gradient aside. Certainly made for an exciting finish!

Pretty spectacular stuff, but the outcome suited all the GC teams in the end, Jumbo got the win but used up a few bullets. Bettiol a big winner too, passing the baton to Jasper Phillipsen. How did they not see the giant yellow vulture up the road? Big thanks as always to team LR.

What a finish by WVA. Top.

Amazing sprint by Philipsen yet again, the pure pace I feel like he's the fastest man of the bunch but the positioning just lets him down time and time again

If he waited for Jonas no chance to win anything as they will have chassed them like crazy! Good choise from Wout!

Baltimore Ravens approves this win.

He waits for Yates and vingegard you have one of the best TT guys in the peloton, Pogocar, going full tilt for the catch. Good move leaving them behind.

100% correct decision to go for the stage win in spectacular fashion when in yellow - at least from an onlookers perspective. I guess there can be arguments against it from a tactical perspective. But it's only stage 4 and the tour is not decided in the first week.

I definitely think he should have waited but wow that team attack was so beautiful.

Wout is simply amazing

The moment Van Aert took over, dropping the last riders with Yates and Vingegaard into a TT without having a chance to recover whatsoever.. absolute beastmode 🔥🔥

Seemed like WvA caught the whole Peloton flat footed by breaking away. The chase never got organized, esp since most of the head of the pack was JV guys gumming up the works. Looked like great racing as well as ridiculous athletic work by Wout. Pulled the flapping celebration, then made sure to tell the interviewer the the Yellow Jersey “gives you wings” while wearing his Red Bull helmet. NBC guys either missed it or pretended to… Seems like real hardcore cycling people are more understanding about Philipson’s screwup? I guess maybe if you’re in the pack with your head down and no radio, & expecting a bunch sprint, it’s kind of understandable to think you’ve just won. Still I’m sure he wishes he hadn’t done the Superman pose.

I seems that the clear shot at the stage win trumps tiny GC differences. But yah incredible and clear demolition of the peloton by Jumbo dudes.

I believe if WVA had waited for Vingegaard, the GC would have pushed for catching them. I think it was a deliberate Jumbo-Visma move.

This was Wout's day. Wout taking a win in yellow with Jumbo on his chest will be worth /loads/ of publicity to Jumbo across the Netherlands and Belgium. Wout and MvdP are big stars and well-known outside of cycling. Publicity for Jumbo-Visma with Wout winning stuff is great for the sponsor. Getting Wout a stage win in the early stages was no doubt a team goal, simply for the publicity. And doing it in the yellow jersey even better.

Jumbo Visma - Schlurp Schlurp! Loving the coverage. Also nice to hear Ravens get a mention 💜

10k full gas !!!!! Insane effort.

7:03 lmfao, that sound effect 😂

Good decision making by WvA: had he waited for Jonas, GC teams would all have chased pedal to the medal. Even if they didn't catch them, they would have carried Yates with them, who would not have helped one bit obviously, and then he would have jumped them on the line, with his more than decent sprinting abilities

If wout can claim the green jersey early, then he can support more in the hills, so one of the aims gets sorted for jumbo.

If it works... Thanks for your vids!

He maybe couldn't see far enough back down the road to get enough information to make his decision on whether to wait or go. In the end a good result. Stage win. Another jump in the points competition for Wout. Jonas keeps his powder dry. And JV are looking very strong.

Luke Rowe’s team name detailed at 3:06 in your pointer graphic as Podcast Co-Host 😆

Wout with the WHEEEEELS

There's a big if in waiting for Yates and jonas. All the other GC teams would have chased. Theat means bora, UAE, baharain. Then sprint teams, alphecin, internachey, lotto etc. Gruphama might also chase. This could make it difficult for them. So i guess it's a diffucult call. On the other hand, if those three started pacing, we might have seen panic mode with pogacar and bunch splitting to further pieces.

Probably the right call in the situation. Would have loved to have seen what could've happened if Roglic and Thomas were slightly further forward and didn't have spend energy going round dropped riders. There might have been potential for a 5/6/7 man Ineos/Jumbo TTT to put a bit of time into Pogacar?

This was the right move ;)

the happiest ive ever seen someone get second before.

Right move. They gain 25-30 secs on peloton but massively increase chance of a stage win with out or Jonas. Time gain is nothing in the overall GC for Jonas

Jumbo and WVA made a good move, but I'm still astonished the sprinters's teammates weren't able to catch WVA riding alone in 10k...

WVA should definitely have gone. The Red Bull helmet gave him those lovely wings
