Expecting good times from Buchmann and Onley with Lipowitz expecting to be snagging a podium spot. Don't know how Evenepoel is going to fare here having been not so good yesterday.

I think the only way it will even be close is if there’s a moment for Visma like the Giro with Simon Yates on the Finestre – even then, Pogi would probably survive

Leading time: Luke Plapp - 24mins 58secs
Luke Plapp, who is still in the hotseat, has said: "The last minute was painful, but all in all, I enjoyed the race, nevertheless.
"I think the winning time will be 1min or 1min 30secs faster than mine, as the GC guys can push 20 watts more than I do. But I wanted to represent the colours [of the Australian champion's jersey] well and I’m happy."

Then there's a hilly stage before the second rest day of this year's Tour, giving the riders the chance to prepare for a gruelling final week in the Alps.

Pogacar should take more time out of Vindegaard in the time trial, depending how much he recovers. That's the TDF over for another year assuming POG isn't forced to withdraw for any reason. No-one's making that time up on Pog.
