Pedersen Wins Tour Stage in Foix Heat

Dane Mads Pedersen claimed victory in the fourth stage of the Tour de France in Foix as extreme temperatures forced Pogacar to relinquish the yellow jersey.

The race was contested under sweltering conditions with temperatures reaching 38°C in the shade of the Pyrenees. Pedersen, who was world champion in 2019 before the pandemic, secured the win in a medium mountain stage run at over 43 km/h. milkshakeslot.online

A Norwegian rider, Torstein Traeen, who had lost five minutes in the first three days, emerged as the new leader with an eight-minute advantage over Pogacar. The Danish victory came as the Slovenian cyclist lost control in the demanding heat of the French mountains.
