Pogacar Wins Stage 4, Van der Poel Stays Leader

Tadej Pogacar claimed his 100th professional win by outsprinting Mathieu van der Poel and Jonas Vingegaard in stage four of the 2025 Tour de France, a 174-kilometer route ending in Rouen. Pogacar made a decisive attack on the steep Rampe Saint-Hilaire climb before being joined for a tight finish. Despite Pogacar's stage win, van der Poel retained the yellow jersey due to better prior stage results, although both riders are now level on overall time after four stages. Pogacar’s victory marks his 18th career Tour stage win as he pursues a fourth overall title. Oscar Onley finished an impressive fourth, while several other top contenders lost time on the challenging finale. Attention now turns to the pivotal individual time trial, where the race lead could change.
