Evenepoel enforces the hierarchy and wins the time trial. It is the record holder for stage victories in the Tour de France who launches the hostilities. Mark Cavendish starts and sets the tone. Very quickly the Briton is overtaken by the Frenchman Lenny Martinez who has set a good time. But the specialists of the event will gradually return to the competition. The Frenchman Kévin Vauquelin will send a strong signal by completing a sublime time trial. He is the first to break the 30-minute barrier. Behind Kung seems to be able to dislodge him but the Swiss champion goes off the rails and loses precious seconds on the Frenchman's time trial. The latter is finally beaten by a few hundredths by the Belgian Victor Campenaerts. The Lotto DStny rider still has this first place at the moment when the four ogres take the start. Roglic first dethrones the Belgian then it is finally Evenepoel who will keep this place for the benefit of Pogacar who will finish this time trial with 12″ behind the second in the general classification. Tadej Pogacar therefore limits the damage by only conceding twelve short seconds in the general classification against the world champion of the discipline.
