Tour de France 2025 LIVE: Stage 5 route and updates as yellow jersey contenders chase time trial glory
@Source: independent.co.uk
It’s hard not to back Remco Evenepoel for this one. The Soudal Quick-Step leader will have bookmarked this stage from the minute the route was published as a golden opportunity to take the stage win, and amass such a margin of victory as to take the yellow jersey, too.
The world and Olympic time-trial champion is the fastest man in the world against the clock, and he didn’t look troubled yesterday by a minor crash on stage three, so should be in prime position to take the win today. Yellow might be a steeper ask as he has 58 seconds to make up on Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar, but the Belgian is an absolute demon on a flat course like this one. His task has also been made easier by Filippo Ganna’s untimely exit from the race after a crash on stage one.
