A reprise of last year’s dramatic denouement is highly unlikely. Pogacar will win the Tour, the only question that needs to be answered on the roads of the Bordeaux: who’ll win the time trial?
The route is similar to the time trial on the fifth day of action, so the same riders are likely to turn out on top. Yet, the stage winner of the race over the Ventoux, Wout van Aert, improved significantly during the Tour and he is arguably the most likely candidate to keep Pogacar from taking another ITT win.
Top 10 first time trial:
1. Pogacar
2. Küng + 0.19
3. Vingegaard + 0.27
4. Van Aert + 0.30
5. Van der Poel + 0.31
6. Asgreen + 0.37
7. Roglic + 0.44
8. Cattaneo + 0.55
9. Porte s.t.
10. Loetsenko + 1.00
