After a hilly day on the third day of the Tour de France Femmes saw a surprise breakaway rider take the yellow jersey, stage 4 is set to be even more unpredictable with a 21km individual time trial.

After the absence of a race against the clock last year, the ITT returns and this time has a midpoint ascent of nearly 2km to disrupt the rhythm of time trial specialists and leave the door open for climbers.
