Tour de France Femmes: How to watch Stage 4 on Wednesday, TV and live stream details, timings and route map

Stage 4 of the Tour de France Femmes is not one for the faint-hearted as sections of gravelly unpaved roads await the peloton.

The pack may well stay together until the halfway stage when the Cote de Celles-sur-Ource could prove the best location for a break to form, with the white chalky roads set to provide a stunning backdrop to what should be an entertaining stage.

“It’s going to be brutal,” says Eurosport expert Adam Blythe.

“We have gravel and we have a lot of it so it is going to be entertaining. The last section, only with 20km to go, is right at the top of a climb so it is going to be awful.

“It’s a very windy region, so when you get on top of these hills the wind can blow down and just cause crosswinds.”

HOW CAN I WATCH THE TOUR DE FRANCE FEMMES ON TV AND LIVESTREAM?

Each and every stage will be broadcast from the start line to the finish on Eurosport and GCN+, bookended by The Breakaway, presented by Orla Chennaoui.

Former Dutch rider Iris Slappendel will be taking to the back of a motorbike, while Laura Meseguer and Manon Lloyd will be on site speaking to the people that matter.

For the first time, cycling will be introduced to our Cube studio for coverage of the Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes. A raft of new innovations awaits, including augmented reality analysis tools and unique virtual backdrops that will enhance the viewing experience even further.

An inclinometer feature will be introduced, a 3D representation bringing to life the gradients faced by the peloton. New technologies within the Cube environment will also showcase some of the finer, tactical nuances of the sport such as echelons and time trial setup.
