GC Contenders Get A Reality Check After Stage 5 Time Trial | FloBikes Tour de France Daily
Jun 30, 2021
From cyclocross to time trials, Mathieu Van Der Poel can drive a bike. Is anyone surprised at this point?
Tadej Pogacar meanwhile asserted himself as more dominant in this year's hunt for the general classification than many gave him credit for. It was a bad day for the Ineos GC riders with Geraint Thomas and Richard Carapaz both losing time.
Tomorrow's stage 6 is another sprint stage. Gregor and Andrea look towards Mark Cavendish and Nacer Bouhanni as the favorites for a very warm day of racing on tap.
