The Norwegian cancer survivor took the yellow jersey in the Tour de France

In the fourth stage of the Tour de France, Norwegian cyclist Torstein Træen took over the yellow jersey from Tadej Pogačar after a successful breakaway. The stage was won by Danish rider Mads Pedersen of the Lidl-Trek team. This stage allowed riders who were previously behind in the overall standings to gain ground, with several cyclists breaking away from the main field. By the end of the stage, a group of ten riders remained at the front, with Lidl-Trek securing both the stage win and points classification for their strong trio of riders—Pedersen, Matias Vacek, and Quinn Simmons. Pedersen claimed the green jersey for the points classification, while Vacek earned the white jersey for the best under-25 rider. In the breakaway group, Træen and Sean Quinn competed closely for the overall lead, finishing with equal time. However, Pogačar’s group finished 13 minutes behind, leaving him eight minutes behind the overall leader. Træen is the third Norwegian to wear the yellow jersey and has an unusual personal history—he narrowly avoided death in 2022 due to a high hormone level detected during a doping test, which turned out to be caused by a testicular issue rather than doping.
