Gaudu Takes Vuelta Lead as Ben Turner Wins Stage 4 in Voiron

Cumulative stage placings put him ahead of Jonas Vingegaard despite identical overall times.

Overview

  • Ben Turner won the fourth stage in a fast sprint finish in Voiron after a French detour that included the Col du Montgenèvre and the Col du Lautaret.
  • David Gaudu finished 25th to pull on the red jersey, with Jonas Vingegaard 42nd on the day as both riders remain on the same overall time.
  • Giulio Ciccone is third overall at eight seconds, and the general classification remains tightly grouped in the opening week.
  • The 28-year-old leads a Grand Tour for the first time, coming a day after his tactical Stage 3 victory in Ceres.
  • A team time trial in Figueres comes next, and Groupama-FDJ says it will give everything in an effort that could reshape the standings.
