Cycling: The French top sprinter Arnaud Démare (FDJ) achieved his second stage victory on the 4th stage of the Etoile de Bessèges. He was again able to defeat the Norwegian Alexander Kristoff (Katusha-Alpecin) in a mass sprint. Lilian Calmejane (Direct Energie) continues to lead in the overall standings. Germany's Nico Denz (Ag2r) also has reason to celebrate. He once again defended his mountain jersey by diligently collecting points as a breakaway on today's section. He is still two points ahead of Preben Van Hecke (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), with whom he fought a hot duel. Since there is only one individual time trial left tomorrow, Nico Denz can no longer be caught. Incidentally, the group was only caught at the Flamme Rouge.
