Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogacar reclaimed the yellow jersey by winning stage four of the Tour de France, which featured a major mountain challenge on the Col du Galibier. Pogacar's victory was distinguished by a dominant performance from his UAE Team Emirates, particularly during the climb, and he finished the stage 35 seconds ahead of Remco Evenepoel. The defending champion Jonas Vingegaard finished fifth in stage four. Pogacar had previously taken the yellow jersey in stage two after a strong finish, but Vingegaard ultimately won the overall race, securing back-to-back titles. Despite Pogacar's efforts, Vingegaard's decisive performance in the time trial and subsequent stages solidified his lead, leaving Pogacar in second place overall.
