Already a turning point in this 2025 Tour de France? The runners still in the running will start to cover 33 km on a flat layout, Wednesday, July 9, on the occasion of the first individual edition time trial, during the fifth stage, in Caen. This will be an opportunity for the best rollers to grab a few seconds in the general classification.
The specialist in the discipline, Remco Evenepoel (Sudal Quick-Step), the defending world champion of the time, will be one of the big favorites for this stage and should climb in the general classification. But he will have to be wary of the two favorites for the final victory, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG)-which won the time trial of the last stage of the large buckle 2024-and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike).
