REMCO Evenepoel won the stage five time trial at the Tour de France as Tadej Pogacar seized yellow and saw his rival Jonas Vingegaard lose more than a minute on the roads around Caen.

Evenepoel, the world and Olympic time trial champion, had talked up his chances of victory on this stage and delivered, if not by the margin needed to make good on his suggestion he could take yellow himself. The Belgian completed the largely flat 33km course in 36 minutes and 42 seconds, an average speed of 54kmh, to win by 16 seconds from Pogacar.
