Pogacar and Van der Poel have exactly the same overall time of 16 hours, 46 minutes after four stages, and count one stage win each, but Van der Poel kept the yellow jersey because of better finishing positions in the other two stages.

The Frenchman was involved in a heavy crash near the end of stage thee and had to visit the dentist last night to fix a broken tooth. Just a reminder of how the GC standing looked when the race rolled out of Amiens earlier.
