Olympic and world time trial champion Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) duly delivered on his stage favourite status on stage 5 of the Tour de France, powering to victory in the 33km time trial in Caen as Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) took yellow.
Evenepoel recorded a time of 36:42 to take the stage win, whilst Pogačar finished second, 16 seconds down on the Belgian but with enough time to take the race lead for the first time in this Tour.
