Lennard Kämna takes his first career win as Primož Roglič stays in yellow after stage four of Critérium du Dauphiné 2020
The 23-year-old German went clear of the break with 3km to go

Lennard Kämna took a solo win after attacking the breakaway in the final 3km of stage four of the Critérium du Dauphiné, beating David De La Cruz to the line.
The day saw three of the top GC riders drop out of the race. Egan Bernal (Team Ineos), Steven Kruijswijk (Jumbo-Visma) and Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) all abandoning, Bernal not taking the start while the other two crashed out during the stage.
Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) also crashed but kept his overall lead comfortably, even despite a late hit out by Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ).
How it happened
The riders started the day in Ugine and traveled 157km, taking in over 4,000 metres of ascending to the airfield in Megève.
A huge group went up the road including Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck - Quick-Step), Michał Kwiatkowski (Team Ineos), Dylan Teuns (Bahrain-McLaren), David De La Cruz (UAE Team Emirates), Kenny Elissonde (Trek-Segafredo), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) and Lennard Kämna (Bora-Hansgrohe).

The race had been controlled all day by Jumbo-Visma, who had sat up to let Roglič back on, just before hitting the biggest climb of the day, the Montée de Bisanne.
The break hit the Bisanne with a 3-50 gap and they began to break down, the pace initially set by De Gendt, but he was then dropped as Alaphilippe kicked on, at first this was only followed by Kwiatkowski but then the majority came back.
Behind, with 44km to go, it was Bahrain-McLaren who increased the pace, looking like they were going to set up Mikel Landa, but when it came to him to attack he sat up. Pavel Sivakov (Team Ineos) then tried a move but that was shut down by Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo-Visma).
De La Cruz took maximum points on every climb except the final one, so he takes the king of the mountains jersey away from his teammate and stage three winner, Davide Formolo (UAE Team Emirates).
The break's gap dropped to 2-20 as they went over the top where Alaphilippe pushed on to pull out the gap.
The descent saw more riders rejoin the peloton as Jumbo-Visma decided to let the break get away.

As the riders hit the climb up to Megève, the pace ramped up again in the break, and it was Elissonde who used a traffic island to attack with 7km to go.
He pulled out a decent gap before De La Cruz caught up. Behind, Käman was trying to come across with Kwiatkowski, who Kämna then dropped.
The Bora-Hansgrohe rider attacked over the top, first dropping Elissonde and then eventually dropping De La Cruz too with 3km to go.
Behind, Jumbo-Visma had full control of the race and there were no attacks at all. Kämna pushed hard and pulled out the gap, winning by over 40 seconds.
Roglič followed his main rival, Pinot, in a sprint where they took ninth and tenth. Roglič keeps yellow going into the final day.
The final stage of Critérium du Dauphiné 2020 is a 157km loop around Megève, where Primož Roglič will once again defend his race lead.

Hi, I'm one of Cycling Weekly's content writers for the web team responsible for writing stories on racing, tech, updating evergreen pages as well as the weekly email newsletter. Proud Yorkshireman from the UK's answer to Flanders, Calderdale, go check out the cobbled climbs!
I started watching cycling back in 2010, before all the hype around London 2012 and Bradley Wiggins at the Tour de France. In fact, it was Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck's battle in the fog up the Tourmalet on stage 17 of the Tour de France.
It took me a few more years to get into the journalism side of things, but I had a good idea I wanted to get into cycling journalism by the end of year nine at school and started doing voluntary work soon after. This got me a chance to go to the London Six Days, Tour de Yorkshire and the Tour of Britain to name a few before eventually joining Eurosport's online team while I was at uni, where I studied journalism. Eurosport gave me the opportunity to work at the world championships in Harrogate back in the awful weather.
After various bar jobs, I managed to get my way into Cycling Weekly in late February of 2020 where I mostly write about racing and everything around that as it's what I specialise in but don't be surprised to see my name on other news stories.
When not writing stories for the site, I don't really switch off my cycling side as I watch every race that is televised as well as being a rider myself and a regular user of the game Pro Cycling Manager. Maybe too regular.
My bike is a well used Specialized Tarmac SL4 when out on my local roads back in West Yorkshire as well as in northern Hampshire with the hills and mountains being my preferred terrain.
