Stage 4 - Wednesday, July 11: Villers-Cotterêts - Joigny, 193km
By Tim Maloney, European Editor (Cycling News)

Stage four is a classic early Tour de France stage run in the countryside to the east of Paris that traverses the rolling hills of the Champagne region, the wide plains of Brie before the final hills across the Yonne. Once again, an early break will certainly escape before the sprinters' teams pull it back in the final 50 kilometres before the finish in Joigny.

Could you add me to your ping list?

I watched yesterday’s coverage last night — up until it ended, two hours shy of the end! How in the world did Versus manage to provide “live” coverage and miss the mark so badly?

And where in the heck has Vinokourov been?
