Stage 4
- 4 April 2024 — Etxarri-Aranatz to Legutio, 157.5 km (97.9 mi)[8]
Stage 4 was marred by a large crash on a descent 35 kilometers from the finish, which took out race favorites Primož Roglič, Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel among others. Due to this, the peloton was neutralized for the remainder of the stage, and GC times were not taken at the finish. However, the breakaway of six riders were permitted to continue on and contest the stage win.[9]
