Check out an update of where we are after Stage 4 along with information on some of the riders offering favorite’s odds to win the Tour de France.

2020 Tour de France

  • When: Saturday, Aug. 29 – Sunday, Sep 20

Odds to Win the 2020 Tour de France

  • Primoz Roglic +175
  • Egan Bernal +275
  • Tom Dumoulin +700
  • Thibout Pinot +700
  • Tadej Pogacar +1400

Roglic takes charge in Stage 4

Primoz Roglic, the +175 chalk to win the Tour before cyclists started pedaling on August 29, sprinted to the finish in the first summit race. Primoz got the 100-mile journey in 4-hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds.

Roglic cycles for Jumbo-Visma. JV is one of the top racing outfits in the world. His teammates set a fast-pace that Aliphilipe, the yellow jersey owner, said he couldn’t keep up with.

Towards the end of the race Roglic used a sprint to get to the finish line first. Primoz put questions regarding his form behind him. The crash he suffered at the Criterium du Dauphine hasn’t affect him at the Tour. Primoz is just 3 seconds behind Alaphilippe heading to Stage 5. 

Pogacar on Roglic’s heels

Tadej Pogacar clocked in second in Stage 4. The UAE Team Emirates cyclist displayed amazing grit to sprint along with Roglic. He couldn’t get past the world’s number one rider, but he did well enough to grab second-place.

After 4-days of racing, Pogacar has shown he’s a legit contender to win the event. If he keeps it up, the 21-year-old could be the second youngest rider to ever win the Tour de France.

When will Bernal make his move?

Defending champion Egan Bernal is 17 seconds behind Julian Alaphilippe in the General Classification. The GC winner takes the yellow jersey and the individual Tour de France Championship. 

Egan isn’t stressing. The young Ineos rider said that the goal is to not lose “too many points” before the third week. Bernal stressed that he believes he and his team can make up time on “the long climbs”. 

We mustn’t count out Egan. Last year, he proved that he could win the Tour de France without so many long climbs. This year’s Tour takes place exclusively in France, which is why Bernal remains confident.  

Tour de France lasts for most of September

Not counting Stage 5, check out the current top ten at the 2020 Tour de France. We added the seconds each cyclist is behind the leader. 

  1. Julian Alaphilippe – Leader 
  2. Adam Yates – 4 seconds 
  3. Primoz Roglic – 7 seconds 
  4. Tadej Pogacar – 11 seconds 
  5. Guillaume Martin – 13 seconds 
  6. Egan Bernal – 17 seconds
  7. Tom Dumoulin – 17 seconds
  8. Esteban Rubio – 17 seconds
  9. Nairo Quintana – 17 seconds
  10. Miguel Angel Moreno – 17 seconds

Bernal, Pogacar, and Roglic look solid to jump into the top three spots by the end of the second week. They might start the second week in the top three spots.

Watch out for Egan Bernal. Again, he won last year without so many mountain races. Bernal will make up time. So will Nairo Quintana. Nairo excels on long climbs. So, he should make a run into the top five in week two or week three.

Have a great rest of your week!
