- Critérium du Dauphiné 2025 Stage 4 Results: Evenepoel Takes TT & Yellow
"That one feels good," said the 25-year-old Stewart, who finished fifth in Sunday's opening stage in Montlucon. "The boys backed me... and the team backed me. They did an awesome job, so I'm just so happy that I could finish it off for them."
The Israel Premier Tech team managed to win, despite the race retirement of its German sprinter Pascal Ackermann, who fell during the stage.
"It's such a shame with Ackermann, he crashed again today, and it was handed over to me there for the final, but it was also a really good day for him, so I'm gutted that he didn't get to contest the finish," Stewart added.
Evenepoel, who took the yellow jersey since Wednesday's time trial, crashed in the final kilometer but was able to resume without difficulty and lost no time in the overall standings.
"There are no major injuries, just small scratches," Evenepoel said. "I was coming out of the roundabout, I wanted to accelerate, and I slipped. My hands were slippery from the wet weather, so maybe I slipped off the handlebars or started pedaling too early."
Evenepoel is expected to battle with Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar for the overall victory in the Alps.
Jonathan Milan, winner of the second stage in Issoire Monday, was the favorite in the event of a bunch sprint.
On the Cote des Quatre Vents -- the final climb of the stage over 5.4 kilometers at a 4.6% gradient -- the towering Italian resisted the acceleration of Mathieu van der Poel's Alpecin-Deceuninck teammates.
But he paid for his efforts afterward, only finishing fifth in the sprint, despite having been ideally placed by his Lidl-Trek teammates.
Friday's sixth stage is a hilly 126.7-kilometer run from Valserhone to Combloux near the border with Switzerland.
