Tour de France 2026: Stage Four Heat Challenge

The Tour de France 2026 continues with stage four from Carcassonne to Foix (181.9km) under extreme heat conditions. The race started at 12.10pm BST/1.10pm local time, and with 174km to go, a 14-rider breakaway including Jasper Stuyven and Mads Pedersen has formed as the main chase group pursues.

Notably, this year's coverage lacks ITV's presence, meaning viewers won't experience the network's iconic theme tune. Post-race analysis on Channel 5 is also being criticized as weaker compared to previous ITV4 coverage. mchezo.life
