The first rider rolls off the start ramp at 14:34 CEST, with the final rider expected home around 17:55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-four hours ago, Sigrid Ytterhus Haugset was a rider almost nobody had marked as a genuine threat to the overall classification. Then Lorena Wiebes got dropped early on the hard start out of Geneva, Haugset rode away alone in search of mountain points, and by the time anyone caught up to what was happening, she&#8217;d soloed roughly 88 kilometres to win the stage and seize the yellow jersey by over two minutes. Today, that fairytale meets the one discipline it was never built to survive: a time trial, against the reigning world champion in the event, who has spent the last three days conserving herself for exactly this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id9515_f171be-63 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id9515_f171be-63 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

4?<\/strong> A 21km individual time trial from Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon, with one significant climb \u2014 the Lacets de Marsannay \u2014 roughly halfway through the course before a fast descent and flat finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What just happened?<\/strong> Sigrid Ytterhus Haugset produced one of the biggest shocks of the season, soloing away for nearly 90 kilometres to win Stage 3 and take the race lead by 2:02 over Kim Le Court-Pienaar, after Lorena Wiebes was dropped early in the stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Why does today matter so much?<\/strong> Marlen Reusser, the reigning world time trial champion, rode Stages 2 and 3 conservatively and sits fresh at roughly 2:30 back. A time trial of this length is exactly the terrain where she&#8217;s historically taken over a minute out of climbers \u2014 meaning Haugset&#8217;s lead is facing its first real threat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-9515_16d483-5a .kt-block-spacer{height:50px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-9515_16d483-5a

style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">How Stage 3 rewrote the entire race<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody was talking about Sigrid Ytterhus Haugset as a GC contender before Monday. She started Stage 3 sitting 1:14 down on race leader Lorena Wiebes, a result of her position after two sprint-heavy days rather than any signal she belonged near the top of the standings. Then the stage out of Geneva turned difficult early, and Wiebes, the dominant sprinter of the race&#8217;s opening two days, was dropped before the terrain had even reached its hardest point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haugset attacked on the Col de la Savine chasing mountain classification points, not necessarily the overall race lead. The gap simply never came back. Lotte Kopecky produced one of the rides of her career trying to close it, dragging the gap down from over two minutes to as little as ten seconds at one stage, but Haugset held on and crossed the line in Poligny alone, 1 minute 24 seconds clear. Marianne Vos won the sprint from the chasing group for third, 2 minutes 48 seconds back, picking up four bonus seconds in the process. Once the bonuses were applied, Haugset&#8217;s overnight deficit turned into a 2-minute 2-second lead over Kim Le Court-Pienaar, with Demi Vollering third at 2:06. <a href=\"https:\/\/franceletour.com\/tour-de-france-femmes-2026-stage-3-results\/\">Stage 3 complete rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s the kind of result that changes how an entire race gets read. Haugset now wears yellow. Whether she keeps it depends enormously on what happens today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Reusser&#8217;s perfect waiting game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the rest of the race reacted to Haugset&#8217;s move, Marlen Reusser did something quieter and, in hindsight, considerably smarter. Movistar&#8217;s own account of her opening three days is telling: she came through Stages 2 and 3 without any obvious physical issue and specifically avoided unnecessary work during the tactical racing into Poligny. She currently sits around 2:30 back overall, not because she lacks the legs to be higher, but because she never spent effort she didn&#8217;t need to spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That matters enormously today. Reusser is the reigning world time trial champion, and this isn&#8217;t her first time facing a course of this length and shape. In a similarly structured 21-kilometre test back in 2023, she took only 10 seconds out of Demi Vollering, but a full 1 minute 22 seconds out of Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney over the same distance. That&#8217;s not a marginal gap. That&#8217;s the kind of time that can completely reorder a general classification in one afternoon, and it&#8217;s exactly the swing several of today&#8217;s GC contenders now have to reckon with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She doesn&#8217;t need to take the yellow jersey outright for today to be a triumph. Moving ahead of Le Court-Pienaar, Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot, Niewiadoma-Phinney, and Longo Borghini on the road would, on its own, fundamentally shift the tactical picture of this Tour heading toward its hardest terrain later in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-9515_b80aea-3f .kt-block-spacer{height:50px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-9515_b80aea-3f .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-9515_b80aea-3f\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">The route: flat, then one real climb, then fast to the line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stage starts at the Place des Marronniers in Gevrey-Chambertin and stays flat for roughly the first eight kilometres, running through C\u00f4te d&#8217;Or vineyard country before the terrain changes character entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id9515_d1f321-04 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id9515_d1f321-04 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id9515_d1f321-04 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:900px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id9515_d1f321-04 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id9515_d1f321-04 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id9515_d1f321-04 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id9515_d1f321-04 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column9515_af4808-09 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column9515_af4808-09 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column9515_af4808-09 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column9515_af4808-09 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column9515_af4808-09 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column9515_af4808-09 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column9515_af4808-09{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column9515_af4808-09 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column9515_af4808-09 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column9515_af4808-09\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tour de France Femmes 2026 Stage 4 Route Animation | Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon \u2014 Time Trial\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XsbzPkKyek8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lacets de Marsannay \u2014 the climb that decides who suffers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.8km | 6.9% average | 3 hairpins | intermediate check at km 9.7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the stage&#8217;s single defining feature, officially measured as 1.8 kilometres at 6.9% through three tight switchbacks, with the intermediate time check positioned right at its base. Some route analyses describe the true climbing effort as extending closer to three kilometres at a gentler average, once the road first begins tilting upward is factored in, a distinction that matters for pacing, since a rider who commits fully to the officially measured section risks blowing up before the gradient actually eases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Corcelles-les-Monts and the descent to Dijon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The road keeps rising, at a considerably gentler pitch, for close to another kilometre beyond the timing check, reaching the stage&#8217;s highest point at Corcelles-les-Monts, 451 metres above sea level. From there, a fast, largely straight descent of six to nine kilometres carries riders back down toward Dijon, rewarding whoever managed their effort on the climb rather than whoever simply produced the most raw power. The final three kilometres flatten out completely, with three corners inside the penultimate kilometre and a roundabout-style turn onto the Avenue du G\u00e9n\u00e9ral-de-Gaulle just 500 metres from the finish line.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-9515_8c41bb-db .kt-block-spacer{height:48px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-9515_8c41bb-db

class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Stage winner and GC prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marlen Reusser enters as the clear favourite, both on pure form as reigning world time trial champion and on the tactical logic of how she&#8217;s ridden the opening three stages. Zoe B\u00e4ckstedt, the U23 time trial world champion, and Anna van der Breggen represent the strongest challenge to her outright stage win. Demi Vollering, historically one of the few climbers capable of limiting her losses against Reusser specifically, looks the best-placed GC rider to avoid a damaging result today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot faces a harder task. She has been open about not having ridden a time trial since May 2025, and a course with this much elevation change and technical demand is a difficult reintroduction to the discipline. Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney&#8217;s own history against Reusser over similar distances suggests she&#8217;s the GC rider with the most to lose today. Antonia Niedermaier, Paula Blasi, Elisa Longo Borghini, Lotte Kopecky, Mischa Bredewold, and Femke de Vries round out a field capable of a surprise result on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Sigrid Haugset, today is about damage limitation rather than winning. Her Stage 3 heroics proved she can ride alone and suffer better than almost anyone in the race, a very different skill from producing a sustained, technically precise effort against the watch. How much time she loses, not whether she loses time, is the real question hanging over her yellow jersey this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Equipment and technical notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several riders have used the build-up to this time trial to work specifically on their setup, none more publicly than Pauline Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot, who has spoken about wind tunnel testing and refining her time trial position ahead of her first appearance in the discipline since returning to road racing. The course&#8217;s blend of a genuine climb and a fast, flat finish creates a real equipment tension for every rider on the start list: an aggressive, deep-section aero setup rewards the flat sections but costs time on the Lacets de Marsannay&#8217;s steepest ramps, while a lighter, more climbing-friendly setup sacrifices speed on the parts of the course where it matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">World start times and how to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Moment<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">CEST (France)<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">BST (UK)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">First rider starts<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">14:34<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">13:34<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Lacets de Marsannay check<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">~15:00<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">~14:00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Last rider expected<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">17:55<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">16:55<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>How to watch:<\/strong> France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions and France 2 carry the stage free in France.

Dijon, the finish town and traditional capital of Bourgogne, carries its own globally recognised food identity: it&#8217;s the namesake and spiritual home of Dijon mustard, a condiment that&#8217;s
