Sprinter Jasper Philipsen took home his second-straight stage win on July 4 and will seek a third, but mountains await cyclists in stage 5. 

While Philipsen looks for another stage win, Adam Yates will try to hang on to the yellow jersey. Yates has worn the jersey every day since winning stage 1 on July 1. He begins stage 5 with his teammate Tadej Pogacar just six seconds behind and his twin brother, Simon, just seven seconds behind.
