After he took the yellow jersey in the team time trial at Cholet, Greg Van Avermaet will enjoy the sea view of the Atlantic Ocean even more at both start and finish of stage 4.
La Baule is Europe’s longest beach (9km long) and one of the most prestigious holiday destinations in France, along with the gulf of Morbihan where the race will end in Sarzeau whose mayor is no other than UCI President David Lappartient.
Stage 4 is surely dedicated to sprinters without any risk of crashing in curve near the finish like Fernando Gaviria did in La Roche-sur-Yon with the yellow jersey. It’s an usual 4-km long straight finish! Peter Sagan is back in the green jersey and keen to win one more stage although the following one will suit him even more.
All top sprinters are looking for their first win at the 2018 Tour de France: Marcel Kittel, André Greipel, Mark Cavendish, Arnaud Démare, Dylan Groenewegen… None of them have the double goal of stage win and yellow jersey anymore. It’s all about being first in front of the president.
