A first today in the time trial of the seventh stage of the Tour de France. For the first time Tadej Pogacar, Remco Evenepoel, Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic will compete once morest each other in a time trial. How do they compare? CyclingFlash delved into the archives of Cyclingflash.com to compare their previous performance.
Pogacar and Vingegaard faced each other nine times in a time trial, with Pogacar being the best five times. Pogacar also has a statistical advantage once morest his compatriot Roglic with 4-2. However, once morest Evenepoel, Pogacar has a harder time: he ‘lost’ all five encounters, three of which at the World Time Trial Championships.
Evenepoel vs Vingegaard
Evenepoel and Vingegaard have competed once morest each other six times in a time trial, with Vingegaard never being able to beat the world champion. Roglic, on the other hand, is a match for Evenepoel. Both riders have competed once morest each other eleven times in a time trial. After Evenepoel’s victory in the Dauphiné time trial a few weeks ago, he now leads the Olympic champion 6-5.
A final important confrontation is between former teammates Vingegaard and Roglic. In mutual duels, Roglic clocked a faster time in eight of the ten time trials than Vingegaard. On paper, Vingegaard seems the weakest time trialist, although of the five time trials he rode in the Tour, he did three times better than Roglic and Pogacar.
