Critérium du Dauphiné 2021 stage 4 start times
Oliveira, Pöstlberger on opposite ends of time trial grid
The standings of the Critérium du Dauphiné are due for a shake-up with the 16.4-kilometre individual time trial from Firminy to Roche-La Molière on stage 4 set to obe the first major test for the overall contenders.
Current race leader Lukas Pöstlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe) heads into the stage with the advantage of being the last rider down the ramp but will be facing a major challenge to his yellow jersey.
He has only two seconds over Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorious) after the Italian's victory on stage 3, but the Austrian will be looking further down the overall standings for who could wrest the jersey from his shoulders.
Tour of Flanders winner Kasper Asgreen (Deceuninck-QuickStep), who also won the Volta ao Algarve time trial of a similar length in May, is perhaps the closest contender, at 23 seconds - one second ahead of a large group of rivals including Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers).
The rolling route will be one for the climbers to limit their losses, with riders like Miguel Ángel López (Movistar), Nairo Quintana (Arkéa-Samsic) looking to keep Thomas and teammate Richie Porte within reach.
Ivo Oliveira (UAE Team Emirates) kicks the stage off at 13:17 CET while the block of GC contenders begins heading off at 15:11 CET with Porte, Thomas at 15:31 and Pöstlberger wrapping up the stage with a 15:38 start.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
