The fourth stage will start in Maribor, at the beautiful renovated Lent. The route takes cyclists through Slovenska Bistrica, Zreče, and on to Mozirje. From there, it continues towards Podvolovljek, Črnivec, followed by an extremely fast descent. After Rečica ob Savinji, the route heads mostly uphill, all the way to the Golte ski resort. The stage has more than 3,500 meters of elevation, making it the toughest stage of this year's race. There will likely be opportunities for breakaways in the first part of the stage, and the best cyclists in the race will need to take charge in the final part if they want to wear the green jersey the following day.
