Denmark’s Mads Pedersen wins stage four of the Tour de France, marking his third Tour de France victory. The stage victory also raises Pedersen’s total Grand Tour wins to 12, according to reporting. In the overall race, Norwegian cyclist Kristoffer Traeen takes the yellow jersey after the fourth stage, briefly leading the standings “for now,” as indicated by coverage. Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar previously held the race lead but does not retain it following stage four. The42 and The Hindu both focus on the contrast between Pedersen’s stage success and the shift in the leader’s jersey to Traeen, emphasizing that the general classification situation changes immediately after the stage. While details of the stage finale and time gaps are not included in the provided excerpts, both outlets agree on the key outcomes: Pedersen claims victory on stage four, and Traeen moves into first place in the overall competition by taking the yellow jersey.
