Evenepoel takes control at the Dauphiné with stage 4 TT win
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick-Step) won the stage 4 time trial at the Critérium du Dauphiné and took over the race lead on an intriguing day for the GC contenders. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) rode to runner-up honors with teammate Matteo Jorgenson in third, while Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) had to settle for fourth, 48 seconds behind Evenepoel and 28 seconds behind Vingegaard.
Soudal-Quick-Step says that Evenepoel's win is the 1,000th in team history, and the Belgian star dedicated the victory to now-retired team founder Patrick Lefevere.
"It's a victory for Patrick of course," he said. "It's his team since the beginning, in 2003, and I want to dedicate the victory and already the past few years of my career, to him."
