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.

He’s got his first stage win of this Tour de France! Tadej Pogacar beat Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) with an impressive sprint on the streets of Rouen in stage four. And it wasn’t just any victory: it marked the 100th win of the 26-year-old Slovenian’s career.

Tadej Pogacar may be concentrating intensely on winning his fourth Tour de France, but in the middle of Saturday's stage eight he was just as focused on how his partner Urska Zigart was performing in the Giro d'Italia Women.
