After four thrilling, dramatic days of racing at the Tour de France comes the first of two races of truth, with the stage 5 time trial starting and finishing in Caen set to reignite the GC battle on a flat 33km race against the clock.
Caen, Normandy, plays host as it celebrates its 1000th anniversary, and its streets will see the 181 remaining riders of the Tour de France roll off the start ramp and power to the finish, with a relatively straightforward route heading northwest out to Colomby-Anguerny and back to the city centre.
