The Tour leaves Italy in this fourth stage of the 2024 Tour de France, when it crosses the border at the Col de Montgenèvre. This is the first time for the favorites to measure themselves in the high mountains.
This fascinating fourth day will be held between Pinerolo and Valloire, with an extension of 139.6 kilometers. Richer Carapaz arrives as the leader, wearing the ‘yellow jersey’ after competing on the third day of the Tour de France, the last fully held in Italy within the transalpine Grand Départ.
There was a huge arrival in Turin the other day, where two men made history. Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) achieved Eritrea’s first victory in the Grande Boucle, when he put Colombian Fernando Gaviria (Movistar Team) and Belgian Arnaud de Lie (Lotto-dstny) in a sprint. In the general classification, the ‘place meter’ allowed Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) to displace Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) to give Ecuador its first yellow jersey in its history.
The reigning Olympic champion will defend it this Tuesday in a high mountain stage that starts from Pinerolo to leave Italy and ends in Valloire… after climbing a colossus like the Galibier. Pogaçar (UEA Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma) will no doubt have a lot to say about this.
The spectacular Col de Galibier will be the first special climb in the Tour France (HC) category, arriving at kilometer 120.7 at its summit. It will be a difficult climb of 23 kilometers at a 5.1% average inclination.
New, there will be two secondary category ports. Sestrieres will be reached at km 50.4, with almost 40 kilometers at an average inclination of 3.7%. Further ahead is the Col de Montgenèvre, which marks the border between Italy and France.
It will be a climb of only 8.3 km, but with a very difficult slope of 5.9% average inclination. Before the two ports, there will be a sprint to Castel del Bosco (km 18.9). So, the arrival of the high mountains brings chaos and the possibility of the general favorites leaving the first ‘hack’.
