Cycling: Tomorrow the Tour de France will decide the overall standings. Who takes second place? Who will be fourth? And who will win the day in Saint-Emilion? We bet on Wout van Aert, who completes his collection with it.
Tension between seats 2/3 & 4/5
On the penultimate day of the Tour de France, the overall ranking is traditionally made – final. will be crucial 30,8 kilometers in the individual time trial from Libourne to Saint-Émilion. The profile is flat and thus suits the classic time trial specialists. So the day's victory will go to a real champion in the fight against the clock. With the yellow jersey already sitting securely on Tadej Pogacar's shoulders, things will only get exciting in the places behind. Jonas Vingegaard and Richard Carapaz are only a few seconds apart. However, it should be certain that the Dane and the Ecuadorian will stand next to the Slovenian on the podium in Paris. Because there is already a gap behind it. It is not yet clear who will be fourth overall. Wilco Kelderman will do everything to catch Ben O'Connor after all.
The key moments of the 20st stage
- Riders will start from Libourne between 13:05 and 17:19
- First intermediate time in Pomerol after 7,6 kilometers
- Second split at Montagne after 20,1 kilometers
- Crossing the finish line in Saint-Émilion between 13:41 and 17:55
Velomotion prognosis: Wout van Aert can do everything
wout van aert is a phenomenon. The Belgian has already won a stage in the high mountains of the Tour de France, three in the mass sprint and one in the team time trial. To complete the collection, he now only needs a success in the individual time trial. He'll grab this one tomorrow. Unlike his competitors from Switzerland, he was able to cope with the mountain stages much more easily. The Belgian champions also seem to regenerate better and better. So it will be difficult to challenge him for the day's success tomorrow. Tadej Pogacar - who won the first time trial of this year's Tour de France - could also take it easy tomorrow. After all, he has already celebrated his stage victories and he also has the overall victory in his pocket.
