Pedersen Wins Tour Stage in Heat

Published July 7, 2026 · Updated July 7, 2026 · The Guardian

Mads Pedersen has won stage four of the Tour de France in extreme heat after breaking away from a group of 14 riders.

Mads Pedersen surged clear to claim victory in the fourth stage of the Tour de France, held in scorching temperatures between Carcassonne and Foix (181.9km). The Danish rider was part of a 14-man breakaway that included Jasper Stuyven, with the peloton giving chase behind them.

The race took place without ITV coverage, meaning fans missed the traditional theme tune, while Channel 5's post-race analysis has been criticized for being weaker than ITV4's former coverage. realschule-moosburg.de
