Here's a machine-translation of the organizer's stage four report:

The 2024 Tour du Limousin concluded today with a final stage that was as decisive as it was thrilling, highlighting the combativeness of the riders and the talent of the champions in the running. This final day offered a spectacle rich in emotions and twists, crowning Alex Baudin (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team) as the overall winner and Mathieu Burgaudeau (Team Total Energies) as the hero of the stage.

The start line of the final stage.

A stage under high tension
From the start, the stage was marked by a series of attacks and counter-attacks. Jordan Jégat (Team Total Energies) and Alexandre Balmer (Team Corratec-Vini Fantini) quickly took the lead, multiplying the attempts to break away. Their determination allowed them to open up a significant gap on the peloton, reaching up to 1’30” ahead. Jégat particularly distinguished himself by winning two of the three Best Climber of the Day points, adding suspense to an already emotional day.

Tight control of the peloton
Despite the efforts of the breakaways, the peloton never gave up. The Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team and Caja Rural-Seguros RGA teams maintained a steady pace to keep the lead of the escapees under control. The Arkéa-B&B Hôtels team also played a crucial role, taking control of the peloton in the decisive moments and ensuring that the breakaways did not widen the gap too much.

The final battle
With less than 10 kilometers to go, the race took a decisive turn with a series of intense attacks. Alexandre Delettre (St-Michel-Mavic-Auber 93) attempted a solo breakaway, but was quickly caught by Mathieu Burgaudeau (Team Total Energies). The latter launched a lightning attack in the final kilometer, breaking away from the group to win the stage solo. Delettre fought to maintain his second place in the general classification, but was unable to keep up with the pace set by Burgaudeau.

The final sprint and the general classification
In the final hectometres, Burgaudeau was able to maintain his lead to cross the finish line as the winner, with Axel Zingle (Team Cofidis) and Hugo Page (Intermarché-Wanty) completing the podium of the stage. The Top 5 of the stage was completed by Andrea Vendrame (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team) and Antonio Angulo Sampedro (Burgos-BH).

Despite Burgaudeau's stage victory, the general classification was not upset. Alex Baudin (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team), with perfect management of his race throughout the Tour, was able to preserve his yellow jersey until the end.

Conclusion
The 2024 Tour du Limousin – Nouvelle-Aquitaine ended on a spectacular note with a heroic stage victory for Mathieu Burgaudeau and a well-deserved triumph for Alex Baudin in the general classification. This edition offered a spectacle rich in twists and turns and emotions, confirming once again the greatness of cycling and the passion it arouses among fans of this sport in the different regions traveled.

Weather at the finish city of Argentat at 1:55 PM, local time: 24C (75F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the west at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 4% chance of rain.

The race: Martin Marcellusi (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè) did not start.

Here is a machine-translation of the race organizer's race report:

Stage 3 of the 2024 Tour du Limousin, linking La Rivière de Mansac to Argentat-sur-Dordogne, was marked by an impressive performance by Jefferson Cepeda (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), who took victory after a fierce battle on the steep roads. Cepeda crossed the finish line in first place, ahead of his teammate Orluis Aular, winner of the first stage, and Clément Venturini (Arkéa-B&B Hôtels), who completed the podium.

The classification leaders on the start line.

The stage was full of twists and turns. From the first difficulties, attacks followed one after the other, with many riders trying to break away from the peloton. Nicolas Breuillard (St-Michel-Mavic-Auber 93) and Clément Braz Afonso (CIC U Nantes Atlantique) led the charge, later joined by Jefferson Cepeda, who launched a decisive attack forcing Alex Baudin (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) into a solo chase.

The leading group, made up of Cepeda, Breuillard, Aular, and other favorites, constantly kept the pressure on the peloton. Despite the efforts of Andrea Vendrame (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) to reduce the gap, Cepeda was able to maintain his lead. At the flamme rouge, he still had a 16-second lead, enough to secure victory despite the desperate attempts of Mathieu Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies) and Louis Barré (Arkéa-B&B Hôtels) in the final kilometers.

This victory allows Jefferson Cepeda to regain crucial seconds for the general classification, while reinforcing the dominance of the Caja Rural-Seguros RGA team on this stage. Orluis Aular, also a member of this formation, showed all the power of the team by taking second place, thus confirming Caja Rural's supremacy on this day.

It is important to note that Jefferson Cepeda has obtained the first Ecuadorian victory in a stage of the Tour du Limousin.

This stage was marked by an intense fight, well-honed team strategies, and a demonstration of individual strength that will remain in the annals of the race. Jefferson Cepeda showed determination and talent to win, and the last day promises to be exciting.

Weather at the finish city of Terrasson-Lavilledieu at 1:50 PM, local time: 23C (74F), light rain, with the wind from the west at 6 km/hr (4 mph). There is a 46% - 80% chance that the rain will continue through the afternoon.

The race: Early in the stage William Smith (Trinity Racing) abandoned.

Here is a machine-translation of the race organizer's stage 2 report:

Today, during the second stage of the Tour du Limousin – Périgord – Nouvelle-Aquitaine, which linked Saint-Aulaye – Puymangou to Terrasson-Lavilledieu. Alex Baudin (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team) shone by taking a resounding victory. After a decisive attack 6 km from the finish, Alex Baudin opened up a 30-second gap on his pursuers, securing not only the stage victory, but also the lead in the general classification. This performance allowed him to obtain the leader's jersey.

The scene at the stage start.

From the start of the day, the race was marked by numerous attacks and regroupings. Mirco Maestri (Polti-Kometa Cycling Team) distinguished himself in particular by becoming the new leader of the climbers' classification, while Alexis Gougeard (Team Cofidis) was one of the main animators of the breakaway.

Despite an attempt to reduce the gap led by Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) as the finish approached, Alex Baudin was able to maintain his lead, crossing the finish line first. Alexis Guérin managed to resist the return of the peloton to take second place, followed by Andrea Vendrame (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team) who completed the podium.

This victory now places Alex Baudin at the top of the general classification, rewarding his efforts over the first 2 days.

Stage progress:
The stage was particularly lively, with several breakaway attempts. The peloton was often stretched out, particularly under the impetus of the Groupama-FDJ and St-Michel-Mavic-Auber 93 teams. The rain, which fell at the end of the race, added an extra dimension to the challenge for the riders.

While the morning breakaway led by Alexis Gougeard (Cofidis), Mirco Maestri and Célestin Guillon (Van Rysel-Roubaix) was running out of steam, it was in the final kilometers that everything was decided. Alexis Guérin, after several attempted attacks, could not resist the decisive start of Alex Baudin, who perfectly negotiated the last turns to fly away to victory.

Outlook
With this victory, Alex Baudin positions himself as a serious contender for the final title. He will now have to defend his position against his competitors in the next stages, where strategy and resistance will be crucial.

Orluis Aular wins stage one.

Les Woodland's book Tour de France: The Inside Story - Making the World's Greatest Bicycle Race is available in print, Kindle eBook and audiobook versions. To get your copy, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

Weather at the finish city of Auzances at 1:50 PM, local time: 25C (77F), light rain, with the wind from the northwest at 10 km/hr (6 mph). Occasional rain should continue through the afternoon.

The race: Midway into the stage Josh Charlton (Trinity Racing) abandoned.

Here is a machine-translation of the stage one report from winner Orluis Aular's Team Caja Rural-Seguros RGA:

Outstanding debut for the Caja Rural-Seguros RGA team on their return to the Tour du Limousin, a four-day stage race in which they compete, among others, against five WorldTour category teams.

The caravan gets lined up before the stage start.

On a very winding final part, linking two third category hills and the final slope in search of the finish line at Auzances, Orluis Aular was able to make the most of his speed to overtake the Frenchmen Axel Zingle (COF) and Dorian Godon (DAT).

The Venezuelan had the invaluable support of his teammates, with special mention to the role of Joseba López, Eduard Prades and Thomas Silva protecting their leader in that complicated final part, allowing the Caja Rural-Seguros RGA man to face the short finish line in an unbeatable position. In addition, Gorka Sorarrain was part of the breakaway of the day, relieving the responsibility of the rest of the cyclists in the pursuit tasks.

Starting ceremonies, Team Groupama-FDJ is presented before the stage is run.

Orluis Aular: “I am very happy with this victory, which belongs to the whole team. From the start we planned to go out and compete in the stage with me, they gave me the opportunity and my teammates did a great job to leave me 200 meters behind in the lead. I can only congratulate everyone and dedicate this victory to them and to my family”.

In this way, Aular becomes the first leader of the general classification of a race that will maintain its winding profiles, practically in the middle of the mountains, until its end next Friday. Next up, on Wednesday, is a second stage of almost 200 kilometres in the direction of Terrasson-Lavilledieu with six climbs in its final part of the route.
