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.

Tour de France 2024 Route stage 16: Gruissan - Nîmes

The 2nd stage of the 2017 Vuelta a España went in the opposite direction. The race from Nîmes to Gruissan added up to more than 200 kilometres and featured less than 600 vertical metres. Strong winds tore up the peloton in the finale before Yves Lampaert took of n the last kilometre. The Belgian took the stage win and the leader’s jersey.

The route from Gruissan to Nîmes travels more inland and the altitude gain is almost 1,200 metres. Which is still good news for the fast men. All the more, sice the toughest climb – Côte de Mas Cordon, 7 kilometres at 3.4% – appears around the midway marker.

Gruissan was not included in the Tour de France before but the opposite is true for Nîmes. The race visited the ancient city three times in the past decade. Alexander Kristoff (2014), Caleb Ewan (2019) and Nils Politt (2021) took the spoils in those editions – the first two in the sprint, the latter from the breakaway.

Tour de France stage 16 as it happened: Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar do battle against the clock

Join us for blow-by-blow updates from the only individual time trial at this year's Tour de France

  • Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Tom Davidson

The second rest day has passed and we're back into the action at the Tour de France . Today, it's an individual time trial - the only one of this year's race - and the stage is set for a GC showdown between Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). 

10 seconds separate the duo ahead of the day, with the Dane in command of the yellow jersey. Can Pogačar finally topple him? Join me, Tom Davidson , for live updates as we find out. 

Passy > Combloux - ITT (22.4km)

Ahead of today's stage start at 12:05 (BST), let's take a look at what's in store for the riders. 

The French Alps play host to a tough, uphill time trial between the communes of Passy and Combloux. At only 22.4km in length, it's a short race against the clock, but the final kicker to the line (2.5km at 9.4%) will certainly slow the riders down.

There have been rumours of planned bike changes before the Côte de Domancy, with some expected to change their time trial steeds for road bikes, so keep an eye out for that. 

Key start times

Here are some of the start times to look out for in today's ITT. The riders will go down the ramp in ascending order depending on where they are in the general classification, so the current lanterne rouge , Soudal Quick-Step's Michael Mørkøv, will be off first. 

12:05 - Michael Mørkøv (Soudal Quick-Step) 13:10 - Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) 14:21 - Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) 14:22 - Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) 15:00 - Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) 15:19 - Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) 15:36 - Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) 15:38 - Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) 15:46 - Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla) 15:50 - Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma)

15:52 - Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) 15:54 - Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) 15:56 - Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) 15:58 - Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) 16:00 - Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma)

All times are in BST. Check out our sister website Cyclingnews for a full list . 

Here's some pre-race reading for you. My colleague Adam Becket , who is on the ground in Combloux today, has been asking the Tour de France peloton what they're expecting from the ITT. 

"It's not going to be one for the specialists," Stefan Küng told him. "It's going to be more one for the GC contenders." 

Read the full piece: The Tour de France's crucial stage 16 time trial

If the Côte de Domancy sounds familiar to you, it might be because it was the key climb in the 1980 World Championships, held in Sallanches and won by Frenchman Bernard Hinault. That day, the peloton tackled the climb 20 times, with only 15 riders making it to the finish. 

The Côte has also featured twice before at the Tour. It made its debut in 2016 in the Sallanches-Megève time trial, and returned to host a Pierre Latour stage win in 2021.

Bike change for Tadej? 

Pogacar trocou de bike no reconhecimento da crono ind de amanhã.#Tdf2023 #ciclismonaespn pic.twitter.com/v7aQwVBBRS July 17, 2023

During his recon ride of the time trial course yesterday, Tadej Pogačar performed a bike change, switching to his road bike for the steep final climb. 

It is likely that the Slovenian's time trial bike is considerably heavier than his lightweight Colnago V4RS . If he can knock off a few kilograms of weight there, then he has the potential to save a handful of watts and take back crucial seconds. 

It is unknown if Jonas Vingegaard will also go for a bike change, though he has been spotted on a stripped-back, weight-cutting Cérvelo P5 TT bike. The chances are he'll ride it the whole way. 

Ahead of today's stage, the Eritrean national road race champion, Awet Aman, rode the ITT course on a single-speed Qhubeka bike . 

Aman took on the challenge to raise money for the Qhubeka charity, which donates bicycles to children across southern Africa. Today, on Mandela Day, the Tour is celebrating its partnership with Qhubeka.

King of the mountains duel

It's not all about the yellow jersey battle today. There's going to be a fight for KOM points on the top of the category-two Côte de Domancy. 

Our reporters on the ground have discovered that Neilson Powless (EF Education EasyPost) will be running a unique set-up today - a road bike with a disc wheel - in an attempt to regain the polka dot jersey. The American is riding a 54/40, with a 40mm deep front wheel and turned-in hoods. 

Giulio Ciccone, the current king of the mountains, is expected to change bikes at the foot of the climb. He is currently tied with Powless on 58 points. 

Stage 16 gets underway

Michael Mørkøv (Soudal Quick-Step) rolls down the start ramp and opens proceedings for today's stage. 

Already, just a few kilometres into the course, Mørkøv is climbing. The first ascent is uncategorised, but with pitches at 10%, it is not to be sniffed at. 

John Degenkolb hits the deck! Just 200 metres into his run, the dsm-firmenich rider swings onto a right hander and slides out. Oily roads perhaps? 

Alexis Renard (Cofidis) has gone down, too. Same corner as Degenkolb's crash. 

I'm now grimacing every time a rider comes into the first bend. Two riders have already fallen, and the stage only started 15 minutes ago. 

Make that three crashes. Nils Eekhoff goes down as well. The first corner is cursed. 

Mørkøv has 6km remaining of his effort and is now on the Côte de Domancy. He has stuck with his TT bike and is sat up comfortably in his saddle, spurred on by the fans that line the roadside. 

13% gradients now for Mørkøv. It looks tough, and it's not abating. 

With 4km to go, the road kicks up to 14%. The race organisers have put a line of yellow rope at the side of the road, which most fans are staying behind. 

The tough climbing has stopped for Mørkøv, 3km from the line, and he's back in his aerotuck position. Expect other riders to do similar throughout the day. 

Norwegian TT champ Soren Waerenskjold (Uno-X) performs the first bike change of the day, and ships a few seconds in doing so. He did so at 5.6km to go, at the bottom of the climb. 

Mørkøv was the first off and he's the first across the line. 39-46 is the benchmark, with an average speed of 33.8km/h.

The main takeaway is that the climbing doesn't really stop for the last 6km, even if the categorised ascent is just 2.5km long. 

Hi all, Tom Thewlis here taking over a bit while Tom Davidson grabs some lunch!

Peter Sagan is out on the course at the moment and on the verge of catching Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Emirates) Strong ride from the seven-time Tour de France green jersey winner. He's in sixth place out on the road at the first intermediate time check, although that won't count for much whatsoever by the time the favourites get going later. Either way, hats off to him. 

Sagan has just passed Bjerg as he goes for a bike change. That's got to be the slowest bike change in history. Perhaps UAE are using Bjerg as a guinea pig for a change for Pogacar later?

Looks like Bjerg has just passed Sagan again..... that didn't last long! Bjerg changed his bike on a pretty steep section of the Côte de Domancy.... will be interesting to see if UAE choose the same point for a change for Pogacar IF he chooses to switch. 

Right! Here goes Rémi Cavagna. The Frenchman can put some serious power down, so could go well here. The French national champ isn't the most accomplished on hillier terrain, but should still put in a solid ride. 

Sean Kelly is saying on Eurosport right now that he doesn't see how a bike change can make that much difference today. Are we seeing more mind games from UAE and Pogačar this afternoon? 

Here's Cavagna out on the road. He's absolutely flying at the moment as expected.

Rain is forecast out on the course this afternoon and the black clouds are looking pretty ominous!

Cavagna is still flying.... he's about go go through the second check point out on the road. He's just set the best time at the second check point and is about to start climbing the Côte de Domancy.

Cavagna is being roared on by the French supporters as he tackles the 11% gradients on this climb. He's going really deep to get a good result here, not far now to the finish.

Mads Pedersen has just taken over the hot seat at the finish, beating Bahrain Victorious' Nikias Ardnt's time by 1-12. Cavagna should almost certainly displace Pedersen straightaway though.  

As expected there we have it! Cavagna beats Pedersen and sets a new time of 35-42 and averages 37.6 kph.

We bid farewell to Tom Thewlis now, as I (Tom Davidson) am back from my lunch break. Three-bean Mexican soup, for those of you wondering. 

The current podium, with around 80 riders still to come, is: 

1. Rémi Cavagna (Soudal Quick-Step) - 35.42 2. Mads Pedersen (Trek Segafredo) - 36.07 3. Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) - 36.35

Speaking after his effort, Cavagna has said his time should be well beaten this afternoon. He reckons he's in for a "top 10, maybe top 15". 

Kasper Asgreen (Soudal Quick-Step) comes close to his team-mate's time, but he's 35 seconds short of the hot seat. 

A sprint finish? In a time trial? 

Bryan Coquard and Benoît Cosnefroy had some fun when they crossed the line. 

Oh quel sprint chaud sur Combloux entre Le Coq et @BenoitCosnefroy ! Quel final messieurs ! Merci ! 😁#TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/KM0lS08KIB July 18, 2023

Victor Lafay (Cofidis) hits the floor, within touching distance of the finish line. Looks like his chain locked up as he got out the saddle. 

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) are both out on the course.

Remember, Powless has set out to do the entire course on a modified road bike - complete with a disc wheel. He's after the KOM points. 

We're well over the halfway mark, with just 56 riders still to start. The big guns will start setting off in an hour or so. 

⏱ Tick, Tock...💛 Get ready!🤍 Soyez prêts !#TDF2023 | @TISSOT pic.twitter.com/VtDJWXqakA July 18, 2023

Here goes Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ), everyone's favourite nearly man. The hilly course isn't suited to him, but he'll definitely give it a good nudge. 

Cavagna's time (35-42) still reigns supreme in Combloux.

A strong TT pain face from Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies). He's provisionally in fourth place, 51 seconds off Cavagna. 

Küng sets a new best time to the first time check, around 7km into the course. He'll slow down on the climb, though (or will he?).

Powless has powered up the Côte de Domancy. He grinds to a near standstill at the top, but he's still got 4km to go.  

A bike change for Küng, who looks to be bang on Cavagna's pace at the moment. 

Tough final effort for Küng as he comes into the line here. He faded towards the end there and finished fifth, quite a way off Cavagna's time. 

You can see a few riders really beginning to struggle as they gradually reach the summit of the Côte de Domancy. 

It looks pretty hot and humid out there, here's what Kasper Asgreen had to say at the finish. "[It's] really brutal. The last part from the steep part to the finish line was endless, it's still 5-6% uphill after [the Côte de Domancy]. With the heat and the humidity, it's horrible."

Here goes Wout van Aert down the start ramp. Jumbo-Visma, interestingly, are still yet to win a stage in this year's Tour.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Giulio Ciccone's polka dot skinsuit. Very classy, Giulio. 

A strong time from Alexey Lutsenko. He comes home in fourth, 49 seconds off Cavagna, whose time is looking better and better with each rider that finishes. 

Ciccone climbs the Côte de Domancy faster than Powless and, as things stand, will continue to wear the polka dot jersey on Wednesday. 

Tom Pidcock is out on the road. Here are 21 things you probably didn't know about him . 

Wout van Aert is trending faster as this ride goes on. 7th at the first time check, 4th at the second. Let's see if he can hold the pace up the 2.5km Côte. 

Van Aert is on course to beat Cavagna's time! The Belgian still has 3.7km to go, but he's crushing the double-figure gradients. 

Here come the Top 5. Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) is out on the course. Adam Yates, Carlos Rodríguez, Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard will follow over the next ten minutes. 

We have a new best time! Wout van Aert keeps his TT bike for the whole course and thunders into the hot seat with 35-27, knocking 15 seconds off Cavagna's time. 

Ladies and gentlemen, Tadej Pogačar is on the course. 

Two minutes have passed. It's Jonas Vingegaard time. 

The battle for the yellow jersey is now playing out before us. 

No surprise here, but both Vingegaard and Pogačar are on course to beat Wout van Aert's time. This duel is not going to disappoint. 

Vingegaard is 16 seconds up on Pogačar at the first time check. There's still a lot of riding to go though, including the category-two climb.

Vingegaard has railed the descent of the first uncategorised climb, hitting speeds of around 80km/h. This is going to be a one-two for him and Pogačar at the finish line.  

Chapeau to Simon Yates, too. The Brit smiles as he comes through the third time check, just three seconds down on Wout van Aert. He could edge a few seconds closer to a Top 5 at the end of the day. 

30 SECONDS . Vingegaard is 30 seconds up on Pogačar. There's still 10km to go. 

As expected, Pogačar goes for a bike change. He loses a handful of seconds in the process, but can he make it up with his climbing bike? 

Simon Yates comes in seven seconds down on Van Aert's time. It's likely to be a top-five placing on the day for the Jayco AlUla rider. 

50 SECONDS . Vingegaard's gap has extended to 50 seconds. If he holds this, he'll have a minute's advantage over Pogačar at the end of the day. 

The third time check confirms it. Vingegaard is 1-05 up on Pogačar. This is not only the Dane's stage to lose, it's his Tour de France to lose, too. 

2km to go for Pogačar now, but it's damage limitation time. 

Vingegaard's advantage is now in excess of 1-20. Wow. 

Pogačar finishes with a 34.14. 

Jonas Vingegaard wins stage 16!

Just seconds after Pogačar crosses the line, Vingegaard follows suit. The Dane stretches out his GC advantage by a whopping 1-38, and is well on the way to his second Tour de France title. 

Some ride by the reigning champion today, who was a level above the rest of the field. 

Hold tight, I'll have a full race report up soon. 

Here's the full report from stage 16: Jonas Vingegaard powers closer to Tour de France title with dominant stage 16 time trial victory

Tour de France

Tour de france stage 16 preview analysis: the time trial that could decide the winner, we look at the 22.3-kilometer time trial that could decide the tour de france between jonas vingegaard and tadej pogačar.

Only 10 seconds separate the top two riders in the battle for the yellow jersey at this year’s Tour de France . Jonas Vingegaard leads Tadej Pogačar after 15 stages, and up next is an unorthodox individual time trial from Passy to Combloux. The Stage 16 time trial is 22.3km long with 647m of elevation gain, but most of the climbing comes in the final 6km, which averages 6.9%. 

In my opinion, a bike swap is unlikely for the GC contenders because there are only 1.2 steep kilometers of climbing that average over 10%. The rest of the climbing is 5-8% on average, with flatter sections where the riders will gain significant speed. Modern-day time trial bikes are super lightweight and the world’s best will be going around 20kph for a couple of minutes on the slowest section of the time trial. 

In this preview, we’re going to take a closer look at the time trial performances of Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar and predict what could happen in Stage 16 of the Tour de France. 

First, let’s break down the time trial into three different parts: opening 4km with the Côte de la Cascade de Coeur, the downhill and flat section to Domancy, and the final climb to Combloux. 

  • Power Analysis: Tour de France – Pogačar, Vingegaard, and Victor Lafay
  • The power numbers at this year’s Tour de France are the highest in the modern era of cycling

Opening 4km of the TT

After a flat start, the riders will ascend the Côte de la Cascade de Coeur, which is 1.5km at 8.5%, with pitches exceeding 10%. This could be an advantage for Pogačar, who has a sharper kick than Vingegaard, especially when both riders are fresh. 

Wout Van Aert - First 4km of TT of stage 16 of the Tour de France

Descent and flat section

After the Côte de la Cascade de Coeur, there is about 6km of descending and another 6km of flat before the final climb. The downhill looks fast and not too technical, which could mean that the heavier Pogačar takes time on Jonas. However, we’ve seen in other time trials that weight and power can be canceled out by world-class time power and aerodynamics (i.e., Remco Evenepoel consistently beating Flippo Ganna, Stefan Küng, and Wout Van Aert). 

Tour de France stage 16 Wout van Aert descent and flat

Final climb to Combloux

The last and most crucial portion of the time trial is the 6km, 6.9% climb to Combloux. However, the first section of this climb includes the Côte de Domancy (2.8km at 8.5%), which includes a 1.5km section at nearly 11%. This is where teams will have to do a bike swap, or their riders will remain on their TT bikes for 3.3km more of climbing. 

Overall, the final climb to Combloux should take about 15-20 minutes. Coupled with the Côte de la Cascade de Coeur in the opening kilometers, there are about 20-25 minutes of climbing in the Stage 16 TT and only 12-14 minutes of flat and downhill.

Recent form, peak power, and prediction

It’s hard to argue which rider is currently in better form: Vingegaard or Pogačar. Both riders have had an off-day but have resisted completely blowing up. They have both put their teams on the front, asking for more, and then going all-in with a violent acceleration. But more often than not, in this year’s Tour de France, Vingegaard and Pogačar have been glued to each other’s wheels.

Power and aerodynamics will determine the result of this individual time trial, but that’s impossible to predict since we don’t know Vingegaard or Pogačar’s exact numbers. But we do know of many other factors that could influence the outcome of this TT. 

First and foremost, the Stage 16 time trial comes after a rest day, which is notorious for messing with a rider’s form. After a week or more of consecutive racing, a 90-minute spin on a rest day can make or break a rider’s legs, especially before a time trial. Neither Vingegaard nor Pogačar has a history of poor performances after rest days, but it’s certainly worth mentioning. 

Second, Pogačar crashed and broke his wrist at Liège-Bastogne-Liège in April, which meant that the Slovenian probably spent a lot of time on his time trial bike on the indoor trainer during his recovery. With a wrist in a cast or brace, it is common for professional cyclists to return to indoor training on their TT bike because it takes the pressure off of the wrists and instead places it on the forearms. In a Tour de France being decided by a handful of seconds, Pogačar’s extra time on the TT bike could make a huge difference. 

Third, history may suggest that Pogačar has the advantage. Excluding team time trials, Pogačar has beaten Vingegaard six times to three in individual time trials. However, a closer look at the data and we can see that two of Vingegaard’s three head-to-head TT wins came in the third week of the Tour de France.

Vingegaard beat Pogačar by 35 seconds in Stage 20 of the 2021 Tour de France, a pan-flat 30.8km TT. At the end of the 2022 Tour, Vingegaard beat Pogačar by eight seconds in Stage 20, a lumpy 40.7km TT in which Vingegaard notably took it easy on the descents to preserve his three-and-a-half minute lead over Pogačar. 

When you take everything into consideration, I think Jonas Vingegaard comes out on top, narrowly beating Pogačar by less than 10 seconds in this year’s Stage 16 time trial. While logic may suggest that Pogačar will be better fresh, that he will be faster on the downhills and flats, and that the shorter climbs suit him, I believe that the data suggests otherwise. 

Vingegaard has made massive improvements to his flat time trial speed over the past few seasons, and his descending is clearly better than Pogačar’s despite their weight difference. History suggests that Vingeaard is stronger than Pogačar in the third week of a Grand Tour and that Vingegaard’s short climbing efforts are stronger than ever. 

At the beginning of the 2023 Tour de France, it was said that the Col de Marie Blanque was the perfect climb for Pogačar and that Vingegaard needed longer and harder climbs to attack. But then the Dane dropped Pogačar with a ridiculous 23-minute effort not too dissimilar from the climb coming up to Combloux. 

That’s what I think will happen. But then again, I never would’ve predicted that Victor Lafay would be the only rider to stay with Pogačar and Vingegaard on the Côte de Pike, that Jasper Philipsen would clean up four sprint stages in the first 11 days of the Tour, and that Carlos Rodríguez would win Stage 14 ahead of Pogačar and Vingegaard. 

This Tour is full of surprises.

How to watch paris-nice 2024: schedule and stages for cycling race.

  • NBC Sports ,

Paris-Nice, the famed eight-day cycling stage race, airs live on NBC Sports and Peacock starting Sunday.

The field includes 2022 champion Primoz Roglic of Slovenia, who changed teams from Jumbo-Visma to Bora-Hansgrohe after last season.

The 34-year-old Roglic is a three-time Vuelta a Espana winner, the reigning Giro d’Italia champion and the 2020 Tour de France runner-up. Watch for him to be a factor in the Grand Tours later this year.

The other headliner is 24-year-old Belgian Remco Evenepoel, who owns a Grand Tour title (2022 Vuelta), plus world titles in the time trial (2023) and road race (2022).

He is the youngest man to win a world title in the time trial and the second to win both the road race and time trial in a career.

Notable Americans entered include Brandon McNulty of UAE Team Emirates and Matteo Jorgenson of Visma.

The Telegraph

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?

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.”

Vingegaard One Of Five Grand Tour Winners At Tirreno-Adriatico

  • Print Article

Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard tops the bill at Tirreno-Adriatico

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard lines up at the start of the one-week stage race Tirreno-Adriatico on Monday as one of five Grand Tour winners taking a tilt at the 'Race between Two Seas'.

Three former Giro winners Ecuador's Richard Carapaz, Australia's Jai Hindley and Britain's Tao Geoghegan Hart, and former Vuelta champion Simon Yates are also in the mix in a race won last season by Primoz Roglic.

But two-time Tour de France winner Vingegaard showed powerful form two weeks ago in Galicia's Grand Camino and will be the man to beat in the two mountain stages where the title is likely to be decided.

Stage six will be easy on the eye with picture-postcard vineyards, a medieval mountain village and dramatic pointed peaks and looks the likely moment of truth with its 10km final climb at 8 percent that will be punishing on the legs.

Mark Cavendish, Jasper Philipsen, Tim Merlier and Caleb Ewan ensure the two stages for the sprinters will be contested by the elite clique.

The race starts on the beachfront at Tuscany beach resort Lido di Camaiore with a 10km individual time-trial where local hero Filippo Ganna, a double time-trial world champion, of Ineos Grenadiers is the man to watch.

The race crosses Italy to the lush Adriatic resort of San Bendetto del Tronto to culminate the 1108km race along the beachfront as lovely as its Tuscan counterpoint.

Monday March 4, stage 1: Lido di Camaiore (ITT), 10km

Tuesday March 5, stage 2: Camaiore - Follonica, 198km

Wednesday March 6, stage 3: Volterra - Gualdo Tadino, 220km

Thursday March 7, stage 4: Arrone - Giulianova, 207km

Friday March 8, stage 5: Torricella Sicura - Valle Castellana, 146km

Saturday 9 March, stage 6: Sassoferrato - Cagli (Monte Petrano), 180km

Sunday 10 March, stage 7: San Benedetto del Tronto - San Benedetto del Tronto, 154km

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard lines up at the start of the one-week stage race Tirreno-Adriatico on Monday as one of five Grand Tour winners taking a tilt at the 'Race between Two Seas'.
