Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2026 Stage 4: Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon

Betsy, Rook, and Rosael open the 2026 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with daily coverage from stage four, a 21 km individual time trial from the wine village of Gevrey-Chambertin to the heart of Dijon. **Stage 4 Recap** Marlen Reusser takes the stage win and the yellow jersey after a blistering individual time trial. Lieke Nooijen (Visma Lease a Bike) and Demi Vollering round out the top three, with Zoe Bäckstedt and Mischa Bredewold completing the top five. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot struggled in the time trial setup, losing over two minutes to Reusser and dropping to 14th overall in the GC. Puck Pieterse retained the polka dot jersey, Lorena Wiebes kept the green jersey, and Paula Blasi held onto the white young rider's jersey. The hosts break down how a crucial, twisting descent into Dijon decided the stage and analyze the major GC shakeup. **Deep Dive: Lieke Nooijen** A profile on the 25-year-old Dutch rider from Team Visma Lease a Bike. Raised on a dairy farm in Helmond, Nooijen started riding 20km loops with her grandma at age three and is currently putting out massive power numbers after recovering from a broken vertebra earlier in the year. **Off the Bike** - The extreme heat in the peloton, featuring insights from pro rider Heidi Franz on core temp pills, constant dunking in ice coolers, and riders hitting 40 degrees Celsius. - The impact of global climate change on cycling and the need for a modern UCI extreme weather policy. - Frustrations with mainstream media sensationalizing UCI equipment and body checks ("Bra-gate") instead of focusing on the actual racing. **Segments** - What Tire Won Today's Race, presented by Bike Tires Direct: A Continental Grand Prix 5000 TT tubeless-ready tire in the front and a standard GP 5000 in the rear—an aerodynamic road "mullet" setup. - Listener questions from the Queen Stage WhatsApp Community: The physical difficulty and handling dynamics of climbing and descending on a time trial bike, and how teams are balancing heat training versus altitude training. **Stage 5 Preview** A brutal 140 km stage from Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais. With 2,850 meters (9,350 feet) of climbing and a relentless "saw blade" profile featuring gradients over 9%, this punchy, attritional stage is primed for aggressive attacks from GC contenders looking to claw back time. **Presented by** Bike Tires Direct and SRAM, presenting sponsors of Queen Stage's Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift coverage. **Giveaway** Daily musette giveaway all nine stages.
