Rated ascent
The race: This stage will finish on the car racing track Circuit Paul Armagnac, also known as the Circuit de Negaro.
Before the stage start, Points classification leader Victor Lafay posed with Dax resident, the legendary André Darrigade, now 94 years old. The sprinter won 22 Tour stages and was 1959 world champion. ASO photo
All 174 riders who finished stage three began stage four.
After 80 kilometers the average speed was just 38 km/hr and the pack was still together.

Finally, they decided this is a bike race and not a casual group ride. At kilometer 82 Benoît Cosnefroy (AG2R Citroen) took off. He was quickly joined by Anthony Delaplace (Arkéa-Samsic). The pair were soon a minute ahead of the pack.

That's all the sprinters' team would let them have. They were not going to let a pair of adventurers ruin one of their few chances in this Tour for a sprint finish. With 70 kilometers to go Cosnefroy & Delaplace were 1 minute 13 seconds ahead of the field.

With 45 kilometers to go the peloton was tugging on the already short leash it had on Cosnefroy & Delaplace. The gap at this point was just 36 seconds.
The pair had led for 61 kilometers, but understood that the peloton was not going to let their adventure continue much longer. They relaxed their efforts and were caught. With 25 kilometers to go the pack was all together.

With ten kilometers to go the pack was blasting down the road at 60 km/hr. Team Jumbo-Visma pulled 2022 Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard up to the front of the pack.
Once on the race circuit and with just 1.6 kilometers to go, Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal Quick-Step) crashed.

And it was Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) who won the sprint with Caleb Ewan second. That's two stage wins in a row for Philipsen who hit 67.1 km/hr.
Here's the race organizer's stage four summary:
From the start in Dax —home town of the legendary sprinter André Darrigade, who won 22 Tour de France stages— to the finish on the Circuit Paul-Armagnac race track in Nogaro, everything pointed to a sprinter taking the spoils in stage 4, sandwiched between three gruelling stages in the Basque Country and the race's first foray into the Pyrenees. The super-speedsters did not let this golden opportunity go to waste. Barrelling down the flat roads of the Landes and Gers departments, the sprinters' teams kept a tight rein on a stage in which the breakaway took its sweet time to form.
The Norman duo of Benoît Cosnefroy and Anthony Delaplace took off with 86 kilometres to go and added some excitement to the race before getting reeled in about half an hour before the finish. The European champion, Fabio Jakobsen, was among those who hit the tarmac in the crash-marred finale, leaving Jasper Philipsen to surge to his fourth Tour de France bunch sprint win on a trot, one day after raising his arms in triumph in Bayonne and a year after coming out on top in Carcassonne and on the Champs-Élysées. It was a double whammy for the Belgian rider, who cemented his status as the king of sprints and wrested the green jersey from Victor Lafay, while Adam Yates stayed in yellow.
The 174-strong peloton mustered under a cloudy sky in Place de la Fontaine-Chaude ahead of stage 4 on Tuesday. The start in Dax was an opportunity to pay tribute to André Darrigade, a 22-time Tour de France stage winner. Known as the "Landes Greyhound", the 94-year-old former sprinter took the chance to pose with Victor Lafay, clad in the same green jersey that the former world champion claimed twice in his career (1959 and 1961). The official start came at 1:22 pm, following a 4.8 km neutralised section. The breakaway specialists, perhaps intimidated by the long odds, were conspicuous by their absence at the beginning.
Philipsen finds his bearings
The pack was eager to catch a breather following three leg-breaking stages and with the Pyrenees just 24 hours away. There were no real attacks in the first 95 kilometres, covered at a rather sluggish average speed of 37 km/h. The first move came 86 kilometres before the line, shortly after Jasper Philipsen clinched the intermediate sprint at Notre-Dame-des-Cyclistes. Benoît Cosnefroy (AG2R Citroën) fired the opening salvo and Anthony Delaplace (Arkéa–Samsic) latched onto his wheel.
Two French riders spice up the finale
The Norman duo soon increased their advantage to one minute, but the sprinters' teams put their foot down straight away. 25 kilometres before the line, the pack swallowed the two Frenchmen right after the only categorised climb of the day, the category 4 Côte de Dému, where Delaplace had been first over the top. The juggernaut continued to pick up steam and no-one even attempted to frustrate the inevitable bunch sprint as the race blasted onto the Circuit Paul-Armagnac race track.
Philipsen keeps a resurgent Ewan at bay
Alexis Renard led Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) onto the home straight with 750 metres to go, but the French sprinter had to settle for fourth place, behind the unstoppable Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin–Deceuninck) and others. Once again, Mathieu van der Poel set up the perfect lead-out for the Belgian, but this time round, Philipsen had to dig deep to stay clear of Caleb Ewan (Lotto Dstny), who built on his third place yesterday to finish second today.
Stage 4 was Philipsen's second win in as many days, after his triumph in Bayonne, but also his fourth consecutive success in bunch sprints in the Tour de France, coming a year after he claimed victory in Carcassonne and on the Champs-Élysées.
