Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard of team Jumbo-Visma celebrates on the podium after winning the 16th stage.

Jonas Vingegaard wins the stage!

In what was arguably the greatest performance of his life, Jonas Vingegaard wins the stage in a time of 32min 36sec. Pogacar, who caught his two-minute man Carlos Rodríguez, finishes second 1min 38sec behind.

Vingegaard leaves rivals trailing in race of truth

Stage 16 report: Jonas Vingegaard deflated the hopes of Tadej Pogacar with a devastating performance in the 22.4km race of truth from Passy to Combloux to extend his overall lead in the Tour de France from 10sec to nearly two minutes. Jeremy Whittle reports …

Jonas Vingegaard speaks ...

“I was feeling great today,” says the stage winner and race leader. “I think it’s the best time trial I have ever done. I’m really proud of what I did today and I’m really happy about the victory. Today I even surprised myself with the time trial I did. I didn’t expect to do so well.”

He’s asked if his win today means the Tour de France is over. “No,” he says. “There’s still a lot of hard stages to come so we have to keep fighting the next days and we’re looking forward to it. I’m really, really happy with the victory today and I’m really proud of it. It’s my first time trial victory in the Tour de France.”

An email: “This raises the astonishing prospect that Pogacar is not the new Eddy Merckx but the new Felice Grimondi, who was tipped to be the greatest until the Belgian emerged and utterly eclipsed him,” writes Paul Griffin.

Top five on stage five

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) 32min 36sec

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) +1min 38sec

Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) +2min 51sec

Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) +2min 55sec

Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla) + 2min 58sec

Remi Cavagna, Adam Yates, Mattias Skjelmose, Mads Pedersen and David Gaudu make up the top 10.

Jonas Vingegaard: He takes another 10 seconds out of Pogacar, who isn’t having a bad day and is about to overtake Carlos Rodríguez, stretching the gap to 1min 32sec.

Jonas Vingegaard: The gap to Pogacar on the road goes out to 1min 22sec. If this time trial course was a just a bit longer, Vingegaard would catch and overtake Tadej Pogacar. It’s an astonishing effort from the Dane.

Jonas Vingegaard: At the third time check, the reigning champion has a lead of 1min 05sec over Pogacar. That is massive!!! He has three kilometres left to travel.

Tadej Pogacar: The live time on the road puts Jonas Vingegaard 51 seconds ahead of the Slovenian. He hasn’t changed his bike, in case you’re wondering. Pello Bilbao puts in a fine ride to keep his seventh place on GC ahead of Simon Yates. Gaudu is in ninth on GC, ahead of Guillaume Martin.

Jonas Vingegaard: The race leader hits the second time check with an official lead of 31 seconds over Pogacar. They’re both on the brutal climb to the finish.

Jonas Vingegaard: The maillot jaune has a lead of 30 seconds over Pogacar. David Gaudu comes home in fifth place on the day, two minutes ahead of his GC rival Guillaume Martin.

Tadej Pogacar: He hits the second time-check with 6.3km to go at 19min 36sec. Will he change his bike? Yes! He dismounts, throws his leg over the bar of his road bike and gets a push-off from his mechanic.

Vingegaard v Pogacar: Vingegaard has set off like a rocket and opened an unofficial gap of 36 seconds on his rival for top spot on GC.

Tadej Pogacar: He passes under the 10 kilometre banner, approaching the climb, 30 seconds down on Vingegaard. Further up the course, Simon Yates is three seconds quicker than Wout van Aert at the final time check.

The Yates twins: Adam was 47 seconds slower than Vingegaard at the first time check, but just three slower than his sibling.

Jonas Vingegaard: He hits the first time check at 7.1km, a full 16 seconds quicker than Pogacar. He’s flying!

Tadej Pogacar: The Slovenian hits the first time check 25 seconds quicker than Stefan Kung, who was previously quickest at that point.

Vingegaard: “Today you show the world who is strongest,” says a voice from the team car in the Dane’s earpiece.

Eurosport: Those on comms for the network suspect the graphic that put Vingegaard 20 seconds ahead of Van Aert after just five minutes of racing must be incorrect. I’m not so sure.

Jonas Vingegaard: After five minutes of racing, Jonas Vingegaard has taken 20 seconds out of Wout van Aert’s time at the same point. Crikey!

The Yates twins: “You haven’t mentioned the Yates twins yet,” writes June. “How did they do?”

They’re out on the road as I type, June. Simon has nine kilometres to go and is two seconds off the pace set by Van Aert.

Jonas Vingegaard rolls out

Stitched into a yellow skinsuit that looks painted on, the race leader and defending champion is last man out of the starter’s hut, taking care to avoid the slippery section on the first corner that did for a few riders earlier this afternoon.

Tadej Pogacar rolls out

In second place on GC, just 10 seconds behind Jonas Vingegaard, the two-times Tour winner from Slovenia rolls down the ramp.

Wout van Aert takes the lead!

The Belgian knocks 15 seconds off Remi Cavagna’s time, coming home in 35min 27sec. The Frenchman waves to the camera and vacates his hotseat. Au revoir, Remi. Chapeau.

Jai Hindley sets off: In fifth place on GC, the Australian pedals his way out of the hut. David Gaudu, on whom I foolishly stuck £5 to win this year’s Tour, is further up the road. I could have bought a pint with that money. Or just thrown it in the bin.

An email: “Wout did NOT change bikes, and he knows a thing or three about bikes and time trials,” writes Jeremy Boyce.

Wout van Aert: Heavy is the head that wears the crown and Remi Cavagny is looking a little weighed down on the leader’s throne. It looks like Wout van Aert is about to take the lead, one the Frenchman probably expected to lose some time ago. Sepp Kuss sets off from the starter’s hut.

Guillaume Martin: Tenth on General Classification, the Cofidis rider sets off. We’re at the business end of this time trial now.

Wout van Aert The Beglian was fourth fastest at the bottom of the climb to the finish and is seven seconds slower than Cavagna, whose minutes in the leader’s throne look like they could be numbered.

Belgian Wout Van Aert of Jumbo-Visma pictured in action during stage 16.

Julian Alaphilippe: Smiling under the visor of his aerodynamic helmet and waving to the crowd, the French legend crosses the finish line 1min 43sec down.

Ciccone does it! He is 40 seconds quicker than Neilson Powless on the climb and guarantees himself the polka-dot jersey for another day at least. There’s plenty more climbing to be done, however, tomorrow’s stage has two category one climbs, a category two and a HC. Saturday’s stage into Le Markstein Fellering has several brutish ascents too.

Lidl - Trek's Italian rider Giulio Ciccone wearing the best climber's polka dot (dotted) jersey.

Giulio Ciccone: In the polka-dot jersey, the Italian is well on his way up the final climb, having swapped his TT bike for his climbing conveyance. He needs to hit the climb at 30min 29sec to beat Neilson Powless to take maximum points, although some of the GC lads could hoover them up later.

Tour de France Stage 16 Preview: Bring On the Crucial Time Trial

A 22.4-kilometer time trial after a rest day could prove to be decisive in the epic GC battle.

75th criterium du dauphine 2023 stage 4

Stage 16 - Passy to Combloux (22.4km Individual Time Trial) - Tuesday, July 18

After another rest day, the race resumes on Tuesday with the Tour’s only individual time trial, a 22.4km race against the clock from Passy to Combloux that–thanks to a Category 2 climb near the end of the course–should favor the Tour’s GC contenders over the Tour’s time trial specialists.

The stage begins in Passy, which isn’t far from the base of the climb to Saint-Gervais, which hosted the summit finish to Stage 15. From the start the riders will race north toward the day’s first obstacle: the uncategorized Côte de la Cascade de Cœur, which they’ll summit after just 4.1km.

Once over the summit they’ll race down toward the first time check, 7.1km into the stage, and then on to Sallanches. This is the fastest section of the course as the riders speed downhill from the top of the Côte de la Cascade de Cœur and toward the town that hosted the world road championships in 1964 and 1980, the latter of which was won by French legend Bernard Hinault.

tour de france stage 16 tt

After looping through Sallanches, the riders head south toward Domancy on a long, straight false flat that ends with the day’s second time check, 16.1km into the stage. This is the power portion of the course, where riders will need to push a big gear at a high cadence, while still saving their legs for the sting in this course’s tail: the Category 2 Côte de Domancy (2.5km at 9.4%).

The road goes up immediately after the second time check and the riders will have to adjust from pushing a big gear on the road from Sallanches to spinning a lighter gear on the climb’s steep slopes. Managing that shift–and pacing their efforts so as to have something left for the climb itself–will determine which riders set the fastest times.

The riders “summit” the Côte de Domancy 3.5km from the finish line, but that’s a bit deceiving as the road–despite easing out for a kilometer after the KOM banner and the day’s final time check–continues to climb all the way to the finish line in Combloux.

Riders to watch

This stage should favor the Tour’s top-2 riders, Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), who also happen to be two of the race’s best time trialists. Both can push big gears on the stage’s flat and downhill sections and up their cadences–and their wattage outputs–on the final climb to the finish line. Vingegaard has a slight mental edge given the fact that–as the race leader–he’ll start after Pogačar and therefore have the benefit of knowing all of the Slovenian’s times as he passes through the course’s three checks. But at the end of the day, we won’t be surprised if the gaps between the two of them aren’t enormous.

If one of these two doesn’t win the stage, our money’s on Belgium’s Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). Desperate for a stage victory, he came close to winning Stage 15 on Sunday and is one of the world’s best when it comes to racing against the clock. His team will let him go all-out–his splits will help them plan Vingegaard’s own effort–and he can probably hold his own on the final climb.

We’re also keeping an eye on Spain’s Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS-Grenadiers) who currently sits third overall. The 22-year-old’s not a bad time trialist, and a good ride Tuesday will go a long way toward giving him the gap he needs to hold-off Great Britain’s Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) and Australia’s Jai Hindley (BORA-hansgrohe) for the Tour’s final podium spot.

When to Watch

Beginning around 7:00 a.m. EDT, the riders will start the stage in reverse order of the Tour’s GC standings, with the majority of the racers hitting the course at 1-minute intervals. A second group will start at 90-second intervals, and the Tour’s best riders will start the stage at 2-minute intervals. The fastest riders should cover the course in about 32 minutes.

The list of starting times hadn’t been finalized by the time we went to press, but we’ll probably tune-in around 10:30 a.m. EDT to watch the final hour of the stage. We know that Rodríguez begins at 10:56 a.m. EDT, Pogačar begins at 10:58 a.m. EDT, and Vingegaard, the last rider to hit the course, rolls down the start ramp at 11:00 a.m. EDT.

Since getting hooked on pro cycling while watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship in Philadelphia, longtime Bicycling contributor Whit Yost has raced on Belgian cobbles, helped build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux as an assistant director sportif. These days, he lives with his wife and son in Pennsylvania, spending his days serving as an assistant middle school principal and his nights playing Dungeons & Dragons.

After a competitive day of racing on stage 15, 35-year-old Wout Poels won his first-ever stage on the Tour de France. 

The day started off with a chaotic crash when a fan, trying to take a selfie, stuck his arm out accidentally hitting Sepp Kuss and knocking him to the ground. This created a ripple effect that would lead to a huge pile up.

Jonas Vingegaard & Tadej Pogacar Battle Could Be Decided By TDF Time Trial

General Classifications leader Jonas Vingegaard finished in 17th-place scoring the same time as Tadej Pogačar , the cyclist in 2nd-place in the standings. Vingegaard's stage 15 result was enough for him to maintain his overall lead and keep the yellow jersey for stage 16. Vingegaard could pad his lead during the time trials. 

Cyclists depart from Passy to Combloux, France on July 18 for stage 16 of the Tour de France. 

2023 Tour de France

Stage 16 is one of the shortest routes for being only 22.4 kilometers,  or 13.91 miles, and follows the second rest day of the Tour. Stage 16 is the only individual time trial in the 2023 Tour de France. In this stage the riders will travel through the course one at a time. 

It’s often referred to as the “Race of Truth” because it’s the most authentic presentation of skill these riders can demonstrate. 

Defending champion Vingegaard leads the race by 10 seconds.  

Tour de France 2023 Stage 16 Route

Stage 16 of the Tour de France might the perfect break the cyclists need coming into the final part of the competition. 

Following some of the route's most intense climbs of the year in stage 15,  stage 16 is an extremely short individual time trial. 

This means the riders will give it a go one at a time. They'll race solo and attempt their top speed. During this time they will have to face a short climb, the Côte de Domancy.

The riders can't rely on their teammates or strategy. They simply need to ride and use strength and skill to take them through the finish line. 

Côte de Domancy Tour de France 2023

Cote de Domancy is a category 2 climb at 2.5 kilometers, 1.55 miles and 9.4% incline. The last time it appeared in the Tour de France was in 2021 for stage 9, Ben O’Connor won that stage for AG2R Citroën Team.

Tour de France 2023 stage 16 preview: Route map and profile of 22km time trial from Passy to Combloux

The final week of the 2023 Tour de France begins with a 22.4km individual time trial from the small town of Passy up to the Alpine ski resort of Combloux. Dubbed ‘the race of truth’, there is no hiding place in an ITT, and we will see Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard ride alone without their teammates or even each other for company.

Typically a time trial might be a big opportunity for two-time winner Pogacar to take time out of the reigning champion Vingegaard, who currently wears the yellow jersey with a slender lead of only 10 seconds after their battles in the high Alps.

Pogacar beat Vingegaard by eight seconds over 13.2km in a wet Copenhagen on last year’s Tour time trial, and by 27 seconds over 16.9km in Laval the year before, winning the stage in the process. But they were flat routes compared to this more demanding ITT, which includes an initial uncategorised climb before a category two drag towards the finish: the steep but short Cote de Domancy (2.5km at 9.4%).

That may be enough to slow down time trial specialists like Belgium ’s Victor Campenaerts – once the owner of the hour record – and Swiss rider Stefan Kung, And it will certainly suit Vingegaard, where a flatter run would have played into Pogacar’s hands.

Then again, even with the climbing involved, Pogacar is still the slight favourite to win the stage. It could well come down to a just handful of seconds between the pair – Pogacar will be going all out to earn the 11 he needs to take the maillot jaune .

The weather could be a factor here. Pogacar does not particularly like racing in hot weather so the European heatwave could hurt him, although he has been working hard on heat adaptation training this year. It is also forecast to rain during the afternoon, and a slick surface will increase the jeopardy on a stage where the two giants of this race have everything on the line.

Stage 16 route map and profile

The stage is set to begin at 12.05pm BST and Jonas Vingegaard will go off last at 4pm, with Pogacar begining two minutes earlier BST.

Pogacar and Vingegaard have so much more riding on every second than the rest, so I expect them to fill the top two spots here. In what order? Pogacar is naturally the favourite, but Vingegaard did look strong on stage 15 and I’m tipping him to win this time trial, by just a few seconds.

Caveat: if the weather scuppers the late starters, then how about Pogacar’s UAE Emirates teammate Mikkel Bjerg, a good time triallist who sets off three and a half hours earlier when the road may still be dry.

Tour de France 2023 - Five key stages

From the Pyrenees to Alsace, the days that could decide the race

Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar at the 2021 Tour de France

Picking out five key stages from a Tour de France route has rarely been this difficult. With five mountain ranges – the Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Alps and Vosges – all visited across the route of the 2023 Tour, there are potentially pivotal days at just about every turn next July.

What’s more, in this breathless modern era, even seemingly milder days have the potential to catch fire. Witness Wout van Aert’s one-man show of force on the road to Longwy in 2022, for instance, or Thibaut Pinot and Julian Alaphilippe’s two-up effort en route to Saint-Étienne in 2019.

And yet, when the lights go up in the Palais des Congrès every October, some stages stand out more than others. In 2023, mind, there were at least eight or nine stages that caught the eye, and some particularly arduous days have been cast aside from this (very) short list, including the tough summit finish on the Grand Colombier on stage 13 and the passage over the Col de Joux Plane a day later. 

At this early juncture, here are five stages that whet the appetite ahead of the big show in July.

Stage 6 : Tarbes - Cauterets-Cambasque, 145km

When the Grand Départ last took place in the Basque Country in 1992, the Tour paid only a most perfunctory visit to the Pyrenees on its passage back into France. Javier Murguialday won in Pau after skirting the mountains on stage 3, while his breakaway companion, a youngster called Richard Virenque, announced himself to Le Grand Public by taking temporary hold of the yellow jersey. The GC men, including Miguel Indurain, preferred to keep their powder dry for the challenges ahead, namely the 63.5km team time trial two days later and the 65km individual time trial in Luxembourg at the end of the opening week.

Unlike in the Jean-Marie Leblanc era, there is no respite for overall contenders in the modern Tour. The men with designs on yellow in Paris will again be forced into action early and often in 2023. After a hilly opening stanza in the Basque Country, the Tour swings into the Pyrenees for two stages that could make a deep early impression on the general classification. The first, on stage 5, features the short but stiff Col de Marie Blanque ahead of the finish in Laruns, but the second to Cauterets is the main event.

Though just 145km in length, stage 6 from Tarbes features three mountain passes. First up is the Col d’Aspin (12km at 6.5%) after 68km, followed by the mighty Col du Tourmalet (17.1km at 7.3%), which returns to the route after being overlooked in 2022. The long drop to Luz Saint Sauveur notionally offers a chance for the race to regroup, but anybody who went too deep on the Tourmalet might pay for that effort on the final haul to Cauterets. The 16km climb has an average gradient of just 5.4%, but statistics can be deceptive on a day such as this. A Pyrenean stage of this magnitude this early in the Tour is certain to create ructions.

Stage 9 : Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat - Puy de Dôme, 184km

In the summer of 2001, the Luxembourg Gardens doubled as the site of an outdoor exhibition of the greatest photographs ever to grace the pages of L’Équipe . The railings along the perimeter were adorned with striking images, from fencing to football, from Alain Prost to Zinedine Zidane. But, like the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, one picture attracted more footfall than any other on those balmy evenings: Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor, elbow to elbow on the Puy de Dôme, locked in combat for the 1964 Tour.

It’s likely that more words have been written about that Tour than any other, and plenty more will follow over the next eight months. The Puy de Dôme is one of the Tour’s holy sites but it has not featured on the route since 1988 due to the construction of a panoramic railway up the dormant volcano that overlooks Clermont Ferrand. Cycling is strictly prohibited on the narrow road alongside the railway, but on joining ASO in 2004, Christian Prudhomme made returning to Puy de Dôme an objective. It even featured on his initial route plans in 2012, but it took until 2023 before the logistics could be thrashed out.

Unlike that indelible afternoon in 1964, when half of France seemed to have congregated on the mountainside, no spectators will be permitted on the final 4km of the climb next July, but the televised spectacle should be no less enthralling. Clermont native Raphaël Geminiani knows the climb better than anyone. He raced up on its first appearance in the Tour in 1952, when Fausto Coppi won at the summit, and he was Anquetil’s directeur sportif a dozen years later. “There’s the Alpe d'Huez, but nothing can compare to the Puy de Dôme. It’s a straight line and it just goes straight up...” Geminiani told France 3. “It is very difficult.”

In 2023, the Puy de Dôme comes at the end of a rugged stage through the Auvergne. Although there are no extreme ascents on the agenda beforehand, the terrain is latently demanding, with some 3,600m of total climbing. The day’s highlight, of course, comes on the vicious climb to the finish. The full ascent from Clermont is 13km in length at an average of 7.7%, but the key difficulty comes in that steep and straight final 4km, where the gradient never drops below 11%. Sweltering heat is often a factor in this corner of the world in July.

The final stage before the Tour’s first rest day could be pivotal.

Stage 16 : Passy – Combloux, 22km (Individual time trial)

With such a preponderance of mountain stages, it’s easy to overlook the significance of the lone time trial on this Tour route. And yet, in modern Grand Tours, even the smallest portion of time trialling kilometres can add up to a hell of a difference over three weeks. The 2017 Tour was a case in point, where Romain Bardet had Chris Froome’s measure in the mountains but still finished the race in third place, his 2:20 deficit essentially amassed in just 36km of time trialling.

The controlled racing of 2017, of course, already feels an eon removed from the remorseless chaos that seems to be routinely unleashed these days by Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and his Jumbo-Visma rivals. But it’s still notable that Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) do not tend to be very easily separated when they go head-to-head in the high mountains.

Last July, it took Jumbo-Visma’s all-out assault on the Granon to split the two main men in the mountains, while Pogačar’s crash on the Spandelles surely had an impact on his travails on the Hautacam a week later. Otherwise, when the pair were both fit and firing, they essentially matched one another pedal stroke for pedal stroke every time the road climbed.

In that light, the 22km time trial from Passy to Combloux could be hugely significant, particularly as it’s something of a hybrid test: not a full mountain time trial, but certainly not a flat one either. The short Côte des Soudans features early on, while the final 6.5km from Domancy are all uphill. The toughest section comes on the 3km-long Côte de Domancy, which was where Bernard Hinault forged his World Championships victory in 1980. Indeed, the entire finale of this stage already formed part of a strikingly similar time trial in 2016.

On that occasion, the course continued climbing past Combloux to take in the Côte des Chozeaux. This time out, the route is not as demanding, but the gaps will hardly be any smaller for it. The transition from the flat mid-section to the stiff finale will not be straightforward, and bike selection – or perhaps even a bike change – will be key. Pogačar, winner of the two-part time trial to La Planche des Belles Filles in 2020, might like what he finds here.

Stage 17 : Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc-Courchevel, 166km

Identifying the toughest mountain stage of this Tour is largely in the eye of the beholder, but the position of this Alpine leg – not to mention its 5,000m of altitude gain – puts it firmly in contention for that honorific. Coming in the third week of the race and just 24 hours after the Tour’s lone time trial, it’s difficult to envisage anything other than significant time gaps come the finish at Courchevel’s altiport.

There are four classified climbs on the agenda, starting with the Col des Saisies (13.km at 5.3%). The wicked Cormet de Roseland (19.9km at 6%) brings the race just shy of the 2,000m mark, before a long drop past two evocative names in Tour history – Les Arcs and La Plagne – en route to the base of the day’s third ascent. The Côte de Longefoy is relatively short (6.6km at 7.6%), but, cruelly, the road briefly kicks up once more after the official summit.

The day’s key obstacle, however, is the interminable Col de la Loze, which drags inexorably upwards for 28.4km at an average gradient of 6%. If the steepness and the sheer length don’t splinter the race, then the altitude surely will. At 2,304m, the Col de la Loze is the Souvenir Henri Desgrange, the highest point of the entire Tour.

When the Tour first visited in 2020, the Col de la Loze served as a summit finish, with Miguel Ángel López soloing to victory while Primož Roglič  (Jumbo-Visma) snatched what felt like a decisive 15 seconds from Pogačar. This time out, the race continues for another 6.5km, dropping over the summit and back towards Courchevel, where there is a sting in the tail, with the steep kick up to the finish line at the altiport.

Stage 20 : Belfort - Le Markstein Fellering, 133 km

Among the innovations of the Prudhomme era at the Tour has been the regular insertion of full mountain stages on the fourth weekend of the race ahead of a long transfer to Paris on the final day. The experiment has had the occasional damp squib – the rain-sodden procession to Morzine in 2016 springs to mind – but there has been more than enough late drama over the years to justify the concept.

The biggest turnaround came in the Vosges in 2020 when Pogačar upset all the odds in that time trial up La Planche des Belles Filles , and the Tour returns to the mountain range for its final shake-up in 2023. The short leg through Alsace has the potential to be a miniature epic, particularly if the margins are still surmountable atop the overall standings. Five classified ascents pepper the 133km route, with a total of some 3,600m of climbing on the road from Belfort to Le Markstein.

A familiar name is first up. The Ballon d’Alsace (11.5km at 5.3%) began the Tour’s relationship with mountain passes back in 1905, though it has only featured four times in the past 40 years. The ascent comes early here and could shatter the peloton into shards with over 100km still to race.

The Col de la Croix des Moinats, Col de Grosse Pierre and the uncategorised Col de la Schlucht are wedged into a demanding middle section before the drop to Munster offers some respite. It doesn’t last long. The road climbs once more with the sharp Petit Ballon (9.3km at 8.1%), followed shortly afterwards by the Col du Platzerwasel (7.1km at 8.4%).

The summit comes just over 8km from the finish, but the day’s hardship isn’t yet over, as the route traverse the undulating ridge that leads towards Le Markstein ski resort, which was the site of the finish of the penultimate stage of last year’s Tour de France Femmes. Annemiek van Vleuten’s solo exhibition there turned the race on its head and put her into yellow. Alsace might offer similar fireworks in the men’s race next July.

Tour de France 2023 route, teams and how to watch on TV

The Tour de France looks set to be a battle between defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and two-time winner Tadej Pogacar.

Pogacar was enjoying a sterling season , winning Paris-Nice and the Tour of Flanders, before breaking his wrist two months ago, leaving the 2020 and 2021 Tour winner fighting to make a full recovery before the grand départ in Bilbao on Saturday.

Pogacar’s team (UAE Team Emirates) has been reinforced with the recruitment of Britain’s Adam Yates and Felix Grossschartner – two major additions for the mountain stages.

If the 24-year-old is back to his best then the stage is set for a potentially vintage battle with Vingegaard.

The Dane, who will again be able to rely on the formidable Jumbo-Visma team, won the Critérium du Dauphiné and will start as the big favourite. He and his team made Pogacar crack last year in the ‘stage of the century’ a year after Vingegaard took second place behind the Slovenian.

Pogacar returned to competitive racing in his national championships earlier this month, winning both the time trial and road race titles, but the Tour is a different affair altogether.

He is expected to throw everything at Vingegaard as he did last year, when he attacked on all terrains, earning the support of the French crowds. More news.

What is the Tour de France?

The Tour de France is one of the three grand tours – the others being the Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España – that form the backbone around which the cycling season is structured.

This is the biggest and most important bike race in the world, with an estimated 80 per cent of most WorldTour team’s sponsorship income being based around the Tour.

Founded in 1903 by Henri Desgrange, editor of L’Auto newspaper, the Tour may not be the favourite stage race of the cycling cognoscenti but it is one that captures the imagination of the wider sporting public. As a result, the race is the biggest annual sporting event in the world with more live spectators than even the Olympics or football World Cup.

When does the Tour de France start?

This 110th edition of the Tour de France starts with a 182km hilly stage starting and finishing in Bilbao on Saturday July 1, 2023. It is the second time The grand départ has taken place in the Basque Country before after previously starting in the autonomous region in 1992.

How long is this year’s Tour de France?

The second grand tour of the season comprises 21 stages and will be contested over 3,404 kilometres (2,115 miles). This year’s Tour consists of eight flat stages, four hilly stages, eight mountain stages with four summit finishes, one individual time trial and two rest days.

And when does the Tour de France finish?

The Tour de France concludes with its traditional final stage in Paris, on Sunday July 23. The race will again end on the famous cobbled Champs-Élysées boulevard following a 115.5km stage from Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

Where does each stage start and end?

Latest news

Egan Bernal, the 2019 Tour de France champion, has been named in Ineos Grenadiers’ eight-man team for this year’s race which begins in Bilbao on Saturday. It will be the Colombian’s first grand tour since his life-threatening crash in January 2022.

Britain’s Tom Pidcock will also be making a return to the Tour, 12 months on from his famous victory atop Alpe d’Huez in the Queen stage of last year’s race.

Bernal, 26, crashed into the back of a bus while training in Colombia at the start of last year, sustaining horrific injuries including 11 broken ribs, a broken femur, kneecap, T5 and T6 vertebrae, C2 vertebrae, a metacarpal, and one broken thumb.

Following a low-key return to action last August, Bernal’s preparation this season has included outings at WorldTour races Volta a Catalunya, Itzulia Basque Country, Tour de Romandie and Critérium du Dauphiné.

Bernal finished 12th at the most recent of those, the Critérium du Dauphiné, nearly seven minutes down on last year’s Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). He is not expected to challenge Vingegaard or two-time Tour winner Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), the two overwhelming favourites for this year’s yellow jersey.

Tom Pidcock and Ben Turner will be flying the Union flag in the only British squad at the Tour, while Ineos Grenadiers has also included the hugely experienced Jonathan Castroviejo, Omar Fraile and Michal Kwiatkowski in its team. 

Daniel Martínez may be the man to lead any slim hope the team has of competing for the general classification, while young Spaniard Carlos Rodríguez completes the eight-man line-up.

“I’m really excited to be back at the Tour de France for what promises to be another beautiful three weeks,” said Pidcock who won the Alpe d’Huez stage on his Tour debut last year. 

“To win an iconic stage and wear the white jersey in 2022 are lifelong memories, and this year I want to build on that as I continue to progress my career. We’ve got an exciting group of riders and we’ll be looking to race with intent and be tactically smart, as we execute the plans we’ve developed as a team.

“As I experienced for the first time last year, the Tour is the toughest race of all, but it’s also the most beautiful and historic – which is what makes it so iconic. The opportunity to tackle it again alongside my teammates and some of the best riders in the world, in front of so many passionate fans, is one that I relish.”

Ellingworth, added: “Tom showed last year what a hugely exciting talent he is and his victory on Alpe d’Huez was just brilliant. We’re looking forward to seeing him progress once again, applying what he learned last year.

“In Kwiato, Dani, Castro and Omar we have an abundance of experience and skill – each one of these guys knows what it takes to win at the top level. 

“For Carlos and Ben, both making their Tour de France debuts, this is a big moment, and one they’re both looking to absorb and embrace. They’re both top quality bike riders, so they’ll certainly be ready to grab any opportunities along the way.”

There was no surprise as Mark Cavendish was named in the Astana Qazaqstan squad as the Manxman lines up for his final Tour. The 38-year-old, who will retire at the end of the season, is targeting a stage win that would see him claim the all-time Tour record outright, having joined Eddy Merckx on 34 in 2021.

Meanwhile, on Sunday Fred Wright ended his wait for a professional win in style as he became British men’s road champion in Saltburn.

The popular 24-year-old paid a heartfelt tribute to Bahrain Victorious team-mate Gino Mäder, who died on June 16 following a crash at the Tour de Suisse , pointing to the sky as he crossed the line.

“There’s lot of emotions,” Wright said. “I’m thinking about a lot of things...I just wanted to enjoy the day because that’s what bike racing is about. I can’t stop getting emotional...

“[Gino] would have believed in me today, more than I would have believed in myself.”

Wright earned fans with have-a-go heroics that brought podium finishes from breakaways at the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana last year, but had somehow still been awaiting victory at the top level.

But after he left behind James Knox and Stevie Williams on the last of 10 laps of a punishing course – including more than 3,500 metres of ascent – there would be no near miss this time.

Knox and Williams are purer climbers than Wright, but the 24-year-old Londoner rode smartly, attacking on the descent to the foot of Saltburn Bank, the short but steep final climb which provided the finale with gradients reaching 22 per cent.

“I was really pleased with the way I rode it,” Wright said. “I probably had the best legs of my life out there. I knew that compared to them I had to edge it on the downhill and the flat so I used that to my advantage to use as little energy as possible. It was just all guns blazing to the finish.

“I still can’t believe I’ve got my first professional win, it’s a monkey off my back. “I’ll go to the Tour with a lot of confidence,” he said. “I’ve won the national championships, I’m happy at the moment, and I’m going to keep trying.”

Jonas Vingegaard took a huge leap towards clinching a second Tour de France triumph in as many years with a barnstorming performance in the individual time trial on Stage 16. The 22km route from Passy to Combloux proved no trouble for the yellow jersey holder who flew out of the blocks and never let up.

Earlier in the day, France’s Remi Cavagna set the pace and led the way for most of the afternoon before being pipped by Jumbo-Visma’s Wout van Aert.

When the two general classification rivals, Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar , heading out for their runs it was clear they were miles ahead of the rest of the field. Pogacar decided to switch from a time trial bike to a road one with 56km and a steep climb to go which cost him vital seconds.

It made no difference in the end though due to Vingegaard’s display. He finished 1’ 38” ahead of Pogacar and is now almost two minutes ahead in the GC standings with five days of the Tour left to go.

Relive all the latest from today’s stage 16 below:

Jonas Vingegaard takes control of Tour de France with big time trial victory

Jonas Vingegaard seized control of the Tour de France with a huge victory in the stage 16 time trial.

The defending champion began the day just 10 seconds ahead of two-time winner Tadej Pogacar after two mountain stages over the weekend failed to find any meaningful difference between the two men who have won the previous three Tours.

But in the only race against the clock this year, Vingegaard blew away the entire field over the 22.4 kilometres between Passy and Combloux, putting 98 seconds into Pogacar to open up a significant lead with only two mountain stages remaining.

Vingegaard blew away the entire field over the 22.4 kilometres between Passy and Combloux.

Jonas Vingegaard wins stage 16!

“I was feeling great today,” says Jonas Vingegaard after his victory today. “I think it’s the best time trial I have ever done. I’m really proud of what I did today and I’m really happy about the victory.

“Today I even surprised myself with the time trial I did. I didn’t expect to do so well.”

When asked if the time difference for his victory means the Tour de France is over he added: “No, there’s still a lot of hard stages to come so we have to keep fighting the next days and we’re looking forward to it.

“I’m really, really happy with the victory today and I’m really proud of it. It’s my first time trial victory in the Tour de France.”

Here’s how the top of the General Classification standings look after Jonas Vingegaard’s wonderful win:

1. Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) 63hr 06min 53sec

2. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) +1min 48sec

3. Adam Yates (UAE Emirates) +8min 52sec

4. Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) +8min 57sec

5. Jai Hindley (Bohra-Hansgrohe) +11min 15sec

Here’s the top five results in today’s time trial:

1. Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) 32min 36sec

2. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) +1min 38sec

3. Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) +2min 51sec

4. Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) +2min 55sec

5. Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla) + 2min 58sec

Remy Cavagna, Adam Yates, Mattias Skjelmose, Mads Pederson and David Gaudu make up the rest of the top 10.

That performance is unbelievable. The Yellow Jersey holder takes the victory in this individual time trial. He flew out of the blocks and did not stop.

There was no bike change, no let up and Jonas Vingegaard blows everyone elase out of the water. He finishes in 32 minutes and 36 seconds.

That’s an extra 1’ 38” added on to his existing lead over Tadej Pogacar in the GC. Vingegaard is on the way to back-to-back Tour de France victories!

Tour de France stage 16

Tadej Pogacar goes quicker than Wout van Aert with a time of 34 minutes 14 seconds. It’s not going to be enough...

Oh my word! Jonas Vingegaard is 1minute and 5seconds faster that Tadej Pogacar. That’s a huge amount of time and will give him one hand on the 2023 Tour de France title.

There’s 3km to go for the yellow jersey holder.
