Sean Quinn (EF Education-EasyPost) moved to second overall at the Tour de France, just 28 seconds behind Norway's Torstein Træen (Uno-X Mobility) but the American was gutted to be so close but so far from taking the yellow jersey.

Quinn started the stage 5:34 down on Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and made it into the break of stage 4 to Foix. He had teammates Michael Valgren and Georg Steinhauser with him but Træen was there too, and was the best placed rider on GC, 5:06 down on Pogačar.
