Mischa Bredewold takes her second victory on the roads of the Tour de l'Ardèche, winning the 20-kilometer time trial with start and finish in Vals-les-Bains and taking the lead in the general classification. The 25-year-old from SD Worx Protime completed the fourth stage of the French race in 28 minutes and 18 seconds, relegating Maeva Squiban, a French rider from UAE Team ADQ fresh off two victories at the Tour de France Femmes, to second place with a deficit of 13".23. Monica Trinca Colonel completes the stage podium: the 26-year-old from Liv AlUla Jayco finished the race 21".98 behind the winner.

After today's time trial, characterized by an initial uphill section, Debora Silvestri, from Veneto with Laboral, and Federica Venturelli, from Lombardy with UAE Team ADQ, can also be satisfied with their performances, recording the fifth and eighth fastest times respectively.

Today's fifteenth place sees Eleonora Ciabocco slip from first to sixth in the general classification: the rider from Marche with Picnic PostNL now trails the Dutch leader by 57".
