The extreme weather protocol was triggered for the Tour de l’Avenir because of the heatwave. It was 37.5 degrees at the finish line of stage 4 in Evaux-les-Bains at the end of a day spent on the beautiful roads of the Indre and Creuse regions, but shortened by one of the two final loops to 133km.

However, Swiss rider Fabio Christen was still fresh enough to resist the return of the peloton and win by a few lengths as a reward for his attack on the final loop, during which he caught Mexican rider Isaac Del Toro on the last climb.
The value of Fabio Christen is already well known, as the Swiss rider is a member of the pro team Q 36.5, which was created this year.

In the overall classification, one Dane can always hide another as the previous leader Carl-Frederik Bevort, who very quickly ran into difficulties, was replaced in the CIC yellow jersey by his compatriot Simon Dalby, who was in the same second at the end of the team time trial. This is the third Danish yellow jersey in four days (after Foldager’s victory on the first day) and Simon Dalby is ahead of three riders from the French team, Mathys Rondel and Axel Huens, both 13 seconds behind and Pierre Thierry, who was caught up in a break and is now fourth at 22 seconds.

The heatwave alert that has placed the departments of the south-east on red watch has led to the extreme weather protocol for the 5th stage being brought forward by two hours (start at 10.30 am) to avoid the hottest hours for this approach to the mountains from La Tour de Salvagny, in the Lyon region, to Lake Aiguebelette, in Savoie, where the finish will be judged at the bottom of the descent of the côte du Terreau, one of the two 3rd category difficulties in the last fifteen kilometres.

-- END --

Peisey-Vallandry is a winter sports resort and ski area in the Tarentaise valley, located in the communes of Landry and Peisey-Nancroix, in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Peisey-Vallandry comprises two high-altitude resorts: “Plan Peisey” (1,650 m), created in 1963, located in the commune of Peisey-Nancroix, and the integrated “Vallandry” resort (1,600 m), inaugurated in 1986, in the commune of Landry. Skiers can also stay in the other tourist hamlets in the two villages. The “Vanoise Express” cable car takes skiers to the Les Arcs ski area and, since 2003, to Grande Plagne. Together, they form the vast Paradiski ski area.

The various village resorts of Peisey-Vallandry are built on the slopes of the Peisey valley, which is cut by the Nant de Peisey or Ponthurin, a tributary on the left bank of the Isère.
The integrated Vallandry ski resort is located at an altitude of 1,600 m, high up in the Alpine Tarentaise valley, in the commune of Landry between Moûtiers and Bourg-Saint-Maurice in the Savoie department. It also adjoins the Plan-Peisey resort, at an altitude of 1,650 meters, located in the neighboring commune of Peisey-Nancroix to the south.

It is dominated to the south by several peaks, including Roc du Grand Renard, Aiguille Grive and Aiguille Rousse.

A welcoming, unspoilt village Founded in 1960, La Rosière is an authentic ski resort with a human face, offering 13,950 beds for tourists. Many of its establishments are still run by the children and grandchildren of the resort’s founders, who welcome holidaymakers into their homes in a family spirit.With numerous developments in recent years, La Rosière has included the preservation of its DNA in its development plans, limiting the number of beds to 15,000. The range of activities on offer is immense: lounging, hiking for all levels, road biking, downhill mountain biking, lakes, bivouacs… The mountains reveal their secrets in summer.

Sunshine for everyone

On a natural balcony overlooking the valley, La Rosière offers a panoramic south-facing view of the Haute-Tarentaise. From dawn to dusk, the sun shines down on holidaymakers of all ages. At an altitude of 1850 metres, the sunny days offer pleasant temperatures and the nights a welcome coolness. You can tan and breathe at the same time!
