Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) galloped to victory on stage 4 of the Tour de France, easily outpacing the very strong breakaway that survived to the line in Foix, which also delivered Torstein Træen (Uno-X Mobility) into the yellow jersey as the break took several minutes on the bunch.

Pedersen’s sprint was untouchable after a long day and control from Lidl-Trek, who had three in the breakaway, and indeed they were rewarded with a 1-2 as Quinn Simmons secured second on the line. Raúl Garcia Pierna (Movistar) took third.
