Up against the Dutchman will be last year’s winner Marc Hirschi, in one of his last races for Team UAE before he switches to Tudor pro cycling, and also Magnus Kort, Koen Bouwman, Harm Vanhoucke and Nicolas Prodhomme.

The course is predominantly a hilly one featuring three stages packed with short sharp climbs, one flat stage for the sprinters and a short time trial to ensure the victor must excel on all terrain.

The stage 4 time trial was won by Spain's Juan Ayuso who stormed round the 15.5km course in 19:11. Coming in 19 seconds behind in 5th place on the day was Mathieu van der Poel who with this performance retook the race lead from Mauri Vansevenant and will now be favourite to take the overall win if he can hold on tomorrow on the final stage from Mersch to Luxembourg city.

What is the 2024 Tour de Luxembourg 2024 Route?

The 2024 Tour de Luxembourg is a five-stage race starting with a hilly 156km route in and out of the city of Luxembourg. There are four serious climbs to be tackled including the Côte de Bourscheid and Côte d’Eschdorf, ensuring the general classification will start to take shape on day one.

Stage two is a much flatter route from Junglinster to Schifflange. Expect the sprinters' teams to control the day so their leaders can have the chance of taking the win. 

After a single day on the flat it’s time to head back into the hills for the queen stage from Rosport to Diekrich. The 201km route is jam packed with climbing including seven peaks in the final 30km on the circuit around Diekirch including three ascents of the Haemerich and two of the Seitert.

After a huge day of climbing, stage four returns back to the flat for a very short 15.5km time trial with almost no elevation gain at all. Expect two battles this day, one for the stage win and one between those riders up near the top of the GC.

The race ends with 177km from Mersch back into the city of Luxembourg. It’s another extremely hilly stage with four categorised climbs in the early part of the stage followed by a couple of ascents of the viciously steep Pabeierbierg on the run into the finish.
