sport">Follow the time trial live from 1 p.m. Dumoulin started at 4:58 PM. The finish of Roglic, who started last, is expected around 6.09 pm.
sport">“Tom himself says that he is feeling better and better and I certainly got that impression from him during the last mountain rides,” says Boogerd. “It may be that he hasn’t ridden a time trial in a long time, but that is of course a discipline that he has a good command of by nature. The hardness he has gained this Tour will probably help him to be able to go deep, something that is necessary in such a final time trial. He’s really working on it and can climb a few more places in the general classification. I therefore see him playing for the stage victory. ”
sport">The time trial has a difficult end. After about 30 relatively flat kilometers, the final climb in the Vosges is 5.9 kilometers with an average gradient of 8.5 percent.

sport">Boogerd: „Jumbo-Visma has several advantages for hitting a double shot. I don’t rule out Wout van Aert, but Roglic can also win the time trial and thus secure the overall victory. I do expect Tadej Pogacar to also finish a decent race against time, but it seems to me that he will make up for the 57 seconds behind Roglic. He did beat him in the battle for the Slovenian race against time, but at the end of a Tour different laws apply and this is also a different course. ”
sport">According to Boogerd, it comes up on Sunday on the Champs-Élysées who of the sprinters has the most to spare. “Last year Caleb Ewan won, showing that he can digest three tough weeks well. That’s why I expect him to have a good chance of winning again. ”
