Due to the exceptional length of the stage, there are likely to be larger gaps in the daily classification, which in turn could result in one or the other place exchange in the overall classification.
Some technical challenges await the drivers. The course changes direction several times, some curves require good knowledge of the route and at the end you even have to climb a bit.
Since the time trial specialists are no longer that fresh towards the end of the Grand Tour, the usual suspects probably don’t intervene in the fight for the day’s victory. Belgian Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), who also won the final time trial of the tour last year, is considered the favourite.

It will be interesting to see how well the classification riders still do after the exertion of all the mountain stages. Sometimes they too can fight for a time trial victory at the end of the tour. Finally, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) are all three top time trialists too.

INFO – Welcome
Hello and welcome to the live ticker of the Tour de France. A day before the final act in Paris, a time trial showdown awaits us. Between Lacapelle-Marival and Rocamadour, the driver has to give it their all over 40.7 kilometers. Incidentally, no tour time trial has been that long since 2014. Wout Van Aert is one of the favorites to win today, but Jonas Vingegaard, Tadej Pogacar and Geraint Thomas have also proven their qualities against the clock in the past. The starting shot is at 1:05 p.m. Eurosport.de accompanies the stage in the live ticker.
