Overview

  • Remco Evenepoel powered through the 33 km Caen individual time trial in 36 min 42 sec to win stage 5 by 16 seconds.
  • Tadej Pogacar’s second-place ride vaulted him into the yellow jersey and he now leads the general classification by 42 seconds.
  • Jonas Vingegaard’s 13th-place finish cost him over a minute and dropped him to fourth overall while Kévin Vauquelin moved up to third.
  • Filippo Ganna’s early abandonment in stage 1 removed a top time-trial rival and amplified focus on Evenepoel’s supremacy on the course.
  • The Tour resumes with a 201.5 km hilly stage from Bayeux to Vire that could further reshuffle the overall standings.
