Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | Lease a Bike) a perdu 37 secondes sur Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), sans compter les bonifications sur la 4e étape du Tour de France ce mardi. Le Danois pointe maintenant à 50 secondes du Maillot Jaune. Pourtant, lorsque le Slovène a attaqué au sommet du Col du Galibier, Vingegaard a réussi à prendre la roue de son adversaire. Mais dans les ultimes mètres, le leader de la Visma | Lease a Bike a craqué. Passant à 8 secondes de Pogacar au sommet, le Danois a perdu du temps dans la descente pour fialement finir 5e de l'étape derrière Primoz Roglic (BORA hansgrohe), Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) et Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step).

00:00I think of course it's a it's a shame to lose time but to be honest when we came
00:14into the Tour de France we expected to be to be behind after these first four
00:21stages to lose time in almost all of the stages so to only lose time in in one of
00:27them I think we can actually be pretty pretty happy with and yeah I mean to to
00:32be honest most of the time I lose today is in the second part of the downhill
00:36not even in the first but in the second where weight matters a bit more so yeah
00:43I think we can be happy with how how things has been going these four days
00:48the difference on the summit was 10 seconds and at the finish 35 seconds how
00:54did the descent go apart from what you just described? I think it went
00:59pretty well and I think until we went left and then it was straight I kept it
01:0610 seconds pretty much but then yeah then he has how to say it a bit more
01:12gravity that that works out for him so he took a bit of time there and that's
01:19how it is I have to accept it. On the climb of the Galibier you were quite
01:23isolated or isolated quite soon how much of a difference did that make? I mean of
01:31course it always helps to have a helper there maybe I would have put him on the
01:37front you never know but yeah I think that that was how it how it was today
01:44and yeah I know what what especially Matteo and Wilco can do so I think for
01:52sure they would be there later in the race. Yeah you're 1-0 behind now but do
01:55you feel do you have the confidence you can grow into this race? Yeah for sure we
02:00expected to be 3-0 behind so I think that's a small victory still. Do you know
02:06what to do now because it's although it was a little bit calculated you are in a
02:10new situation you are you have a little deficit towards today and he it looks
02:15like he has a stronger team that's new situation for you as well. I mean we know
02:20what to do yes but I'm not gonna tell him. Yeah yeah I mean we believe in our
02:26plan like the last two years so yeah we will see by the end of the tour.
02:3050 seconds conceded on GC when you're only 7 or 8 behind on the top of the Galibier.
02:36I mean of course I would have liked to yeah close the gap instead of
02:42that it opened on opening up even more but yeah I think for the first part of
02:48the downhill I kept the gap and the second part is is more straight and
02:54where gravity helps you out a bit more and I think it helped him out in this
03:00situation so yeah I think that's that's just how it is and I have to accept it
03:06of course I would have liked to stay with him but yeah that's life and I mean
03:11we we came here believing that we would lose time the three out of the first
03:16four stages so to only lose time in in one of them is is pretty good in in my
03:23opinion. So you expected to lose time in three stages I mean how much did you
03:28expect to lose or how much did you fear you might lose in these three stages? I mean of
03:32course yeah I would say two minutes or maybe more so to be only only 50 seconds
03:43behind this yeah it's still quite good and my time will come or our time will
03:48come. Maybe not for you Jonas but for everybody else it was a big uncertainty
03:53how you would come into this Tour de France and of course the form. When you've had a little bit of time to reflect now
03:59particularly on the first mountain test what is your feeling are you are you
04:02satisfied with how it's gone? Yeah to be honest I'm pretty satisfied as I said I
04:08was also doubting myself going into this tour I didn't know where I was as well
04:12so yeah to be able to only lose time in in one out of out of three stages and or
04:19four yeah the sprint stage of course is is different but yeah I think that's
04:24that's more than we could have expected and to be honest also today yeah it
04:30wasn't like he was a lot stronger uphill so the tour is long and we will do our
