Advantage Jumbo-Visma: Early impressions of the Tour’s battle for yellow

Tuesday’s fourth stage of the 2020 Tour de France offered our first chance to see the yellow-jersey hopefuls do battle.

La Course gallery: Three world champions and a thrilling sprint

This year, for the first time in the race’s seven-year history, La Course was held before the men’s Tour de France rather than during or after it.
