The British Ben Turner was the main protagonist of the fourth stage of the Tour of Spain 2025 on Tuesday. The INEOS corridor celebrated with tears his first victory in a big after imposing himself in the final sprint of a marathon day between Susa (Italy) and Vairon (France).

Turner demonstrated power and temper in the final meters, surpassing the Belgian Jasper Philipsen, who stayed again at the gates of triumph.

The achievement of the British was one of the most emotional of the competition so far, as he reflected the effort of a cyclist who has worked during several seasons as a luxury gregarious in his squad and who finally had his reward in the finish line.

This will be the route of the next stage of the Vuelta

The fifth stage of the Tour of Spain 2025, this Wednesday, August 27, will be a counterreloj by teams of 24.1 kilometers in Figueres, a route that will travel locations such as Cabanes, Peralada and Vilanova La Muga. It will be a completely flat tour, ideal for the most powerful and specialized blocks in the discipline to mark differences from the beginning. The requirement will lie in the very high speed and precision to execute the relays without losing pace.

Although it is a short day, it could be decisive in the fight for the red jersey. The teams with less preparation in this modality run the risk of giving second seconds, while the squads of greater coordination will have the opportunity to catapult their leaders in the general. The show will be guaranteed in a test where the collective strategy will count as much as the individual force.

Changes in the general classification

In the general classification a transcendental change was lived: Jonas Vingegaard, until now leader, lost the red jersey and gave the position to French David Gaudu, who now heads the table with the same time as the Danish, but favored by his best performance in the previous stages. The Groupama-FDJ signed a historic day, putting himself at the head of the race and challenging the domain that seemed to consolidate the visma.

Behind them appears in the third position the Italian Giulio Ciccone, from Lidl-Trek, six seconds from the leader. His constancy keeps him in the fight for the top positions, in a classification that is very tight and promises strong emotions in the next few days. Vingegaard, despite giving up the lead, remains the big favorite, although the pressure is now distributed among several applicants.

On the part of the Colombians, Egan Bernal consolidated in the fourth place of the general, only 14 seconds from Gaudu. The INEOS is solid on each day, with sensations that remember its best version and that keep it as a serious letter in the fight for the podium. Its regularity is key in a land that has not yet shown the mountains, but where they begin to make differences.

Santiago Buitrago also stands out in the seventh place, just 16 seconds of the leader, confirming his growth in the big laps. Further back, Harold Tejada marches 22 °, Sergio Higuita advanced at 51, Brandon Rivera is 60 °, while Esteban Chaves and Juan Guillermo Martínez are in positions 117 and 119, respectively. The Colombian presence remains numerous and with two runners in the Top 10, a reason for illusion for the fans.
