00:40It's the start now of Remco Evnepoel in the white jersey as the best young rider
00:49and he comes out of the start with the most furious sprint. Double Tour de France winner
00:56about to get underway. This rider needs to produce a very good time trial this afternoon

01:09The final rider is underway. Fingegaard 17 seconds faster than Victor Campenaerts already.
01:17Between them is 5-4 to Pogacar but in the last two it has always been whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
01:28This is Pogacar the yellow jersey. Can he beat all the riders? 9 minutes 50 seconds.

02:39leaderboard. Roglic 17 seconds faster. Oh mechanical and a mechanical for Remco Evnepoel
02:48and I think he may well have righted it. He gets it back on and now he settles himself back in.
02:53It looked like maybe the chain came off. Something happened but he managed to bang it back on and get
03:00okay. The defending champion of the Tour de France after all the trials and tribulations
03:07of rehabilitation makes his way into the finish. Can he eclipse the time of Primoz Roglic on this
03:14finish line? The time to beat 29.26. He's going to be just outside the time of the Olympic champion.
03:21Second fastest so far. Getting himself ready. Roglic's time 29.26.51. Remco Evnepoel looks
03:32absolutely superb this afternoon. Sprinting for all he is worth. Every single second counts in
03:40this time trial. Remco Evnepoel in towards the race finish. Can he set a time that wins him his first
03:47ever stage of the Tour de France? Top of the leaderboard. Smashes Roglic out of sight. Has 35
03:55seconds there on Roglic. It's a very big effort. And these two riders are absolutely flat out
04:02in this section. Pogacar was at the time split six seconds down on Remco Evnepoel. He's going
04:09to come into this last turn. Remco Evnepoel's time 28 minutes 52.19. A big turn. Pogacar now
04:18sprints for all he is worth. Can he beat the time of Remco Evnepoel? The yellow jersey closing in
04:25on the finish line. But it's not gonna be enough this afternoon. Remco Evnepoel wins his first
04:31ever stage of the Tour de France. But Tadej Pogacar has sent out the message. Pogacar
04:37is supreme in the time trial. He might be second but he holds on to the yellow jersey.
04:43The Aussie thought as you said either a puncture or something wrong with the chain.
