Stage 4 preview: Abbeville → Rouen, 215 km (lumpy)![]() 4. etapa bo vodila mimo obal Dieppe-a v Normandiji, kjer se je odvijala bitka pri Dieppe-u pred skoraj 70 leti. (foto: Jamie Anderson))
Ta etapa bo poklon petkratnemu zmagovalcu Tour-a, Jacques-u Anquetil-u (na sliki levo), ki se je rodil in umrl v Rouen-u. Etapa ima štiri vzpone četrte kategorije, vendar je zadnji izmed njih 72 km pred ciljem. Če obalni veter ne bo igral vloge, lahko torej pričakujemo drugi skupinski sprint na letošnjem Tour-u. Ameriški sprinter Tyler Farrar je lani zmagal na 4. Julij (ameriški dan neodvisnosti), nedaleč od cilja letošnje četrte etape in tudi letos pričakujemo skupinski sprint na ta dan. Vendar, sodeč po rezultatih v zadnjem času, je malo verjetno, da bi Farrar zmagal tudi letos. Zato pa bo Andre Greipel s svojim Lotto Belisol “vlakom” poskušal preprečiti ponovno zmago Mark-a Cavendish-a. – Aljoša |
