Stage 4, the briefing: we moved to Queenstown area for the end of the Tour! Today crazy start!

Stage 4 start with a brutal ascend part and all the energy will be spent there. The are two climbs classified event tough the climbing part is continuing in the middle section.

After reaching the top, here a very long descent part starts. It's important to ensure to not stay alone because the drafting could save legs and energy.

It's difficult to say that the race could be decided at the end of the second climb because the descend is so long and no so steep and then a recovery will be possible.

The riders virtually moved to Queenstown area and they will go to Wanaka. Wanaka will be the set of the Stage 5 tomorrow, so the riders can enjoy the beautiful view of the lake during the rest time.
