Defending champion Tadej Pogacar secured the 100th professional victory of his stellar career in typically flamboyant style, beating Mathieu van der Poel in a dash to the line to win the hilly fourth stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday.

Defending champion Tadej Pogacar outsprinted Mathieu van der Poel and Jonas Vingegaard as he claimed his 100th professional victory on stage four of the Tour de France. The result means that the Slovenian moves level on time with Dutch rider at the top of the general classification with Van der Poel retaining the leader's yellow jersey on count-back.

Pogacar and Van der Poel have exactly the same overall time of 16 hours, 46 minutes after four stages, and count one stage win each, but Van der Poel kept the yellow jersey because of better finishing positions in the other two stages.
