Remco Evenepoel said that he and his Soudal-QuickStep team "didn't expect to take yellow" in the Critérium du Dauphiné stage 4 time trial after he blitzed the course to win the stage and move into the race lead.
The world time trial champion beat Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike) into second place by 21 seconds over the 17.4km course, while Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) shed 49 seconds to finish in fourth.
