True to form the fourth stage of the Criterium du Dauphine featured and early break, and yet again Wanty-Groupe Gobert was represented. This time it was the Belgium rider, Frederik Veuchelen. The others that made up the trio were, Maxime Bouet (Etixx-Quickstep) and Bryan Nauleau (Direct Energie). While the threesome were way to far down the general classification to effect the leader board, today's stage may be the final chance for the sprinters to show their stuff. Therefore it is unlikely that they will be allow to stay away to the line. I image that several of the fast men were still angry at themselves for letting Fabio Aru (Astana) pull off a solo dash to victory yesterday.
