“I crashed twice in the last 20km. It made it very difficult for me. Fortunately there was my teammate, Jakob Fuglsang, in the three-man group behind. I crashed again so I'm really happy that I made up with a stage win for this very bad day. It gives me more motivation for tomorrow and the big classics.” | share this photo |

Your Stage 4 winner, Alexey LUTSENKO (KAZ/ASTANA PRO), "I crashed twice but still won, it shows you never know what can happen" | share this photo |

3rd today, Adam YATES (GBR/MITCHELTON - SCOTT) leads Primož ROGLIČ (SLO/JUMBO - VISMA) by 7s: “It was a tricky stage. It was as hard as a classic in the Ardennes, up and down all day with twisty roads and steep climbs. But we were always in the position we needed to be in. In the final climb, I managed to hang on to Roglic's strong pace. I'm a little disappointed to not win the stage but the strongest guy won today.” | share this photo |
