Tour de Luxembourg 2021 – Stage 4 [FULL STAGE – Individual Time Trial]

September 17, 2021

Tour de Luxembourg 2021 – Stage 4 ITT – Dudelange – Dudelange : 25,4 km

The race has since joined the UCI ProSeries calendar however, and in doing so has been moved to a mid-september slot, changing it from a warm-up event to a last-ditch attempt for many riders to secure a contract for the following season. The race may take place in one of Europe’s smallest nations, but that doesn’t stop it from seeking out enough unique terrain for five action-packed stages. A lot of these stages crosscut each other, creating a route map that looks remarkably similar to a spider’s web. The five-day event typically begins with a short prologue before sending the riders on four undulating stages around the country, with the fifth and final stage often taking place on a lumpy circuit around the capital, Luxembourg City. It’s this final stage that often decides the general classification, with the stage winner often taking the overall victory thanks to the bountiful supply of bonus seconds on offer at the finish line.

Mattia Cattaneo (Deceuninck-Quickstep) prevailed in the Tour de Luxembourg stage 4 individual time trial, winning the 25.4km stage ahead of teammate João Almeida, who reclaimed the race lead from Marc Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates) by a large margin.

Hirschi lost 46 seconds on Almeida but still finished sixth on the stage to keep second place overall, with Cattaneo moving into a podium position thanks to his strong performance.

Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo) was third on the stage that saw his teammate Bauke Mollema suffer a horrific high-speed crash and drop out of the top 10.
