Pedersen Wins Tour de France Stage 4 in Extreme Heat

Mads Pedersen claimed victory in the fourth stage of the 2026 Tour de France, breaking away from a group of 14 riders including Jasper Stuyven. The 181.9km stage from Carcassonne to Foix was particularly challenging as riders faced extreme temperatures throughout the afternoon.

The Danish rider's performance came amid criticism of Channel 5's coverage, with fans noting the absence of ITV's popular theme tune and post-race analysis. The race continues with the chase intensifying behind the early breakaway. umafrika.club
