Ferrand-Prévot Defends Aero Position After TT Setback

Defending Tour de France Femmes champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot finished 34th in stage 4’s time trial, 2:13 behind yellow‑jersey leader Marlen Reusser and 1:56 behind rival Demi Vollering. She rode an elevated aero position—explained as the fastest setup for her after wind-tunnel and track testing and considering past iliac artery surgeries—and said she did her best despite not feeling great on the bike. With the deficit large, she and Visma-Lease a Bike plan to close the gap and attack on forthcoming stages, including Mont Ventoux.

Evenepoel clocks Stage 16 TT fastest as Pogacar retains Tour lead

Remco Evenepoel posted the fastest time in Stage 16's 26.1 km individual time trial (32:19) to win back-to-back Tour TT stages, finishing ahead of Mattias Skjelmose. Pogacar delivered the second-fastest time and still leads the general classification by 4 minutes, 32 seconds with five stages to go. Teammate Florian Lipowitz crashed near the finish, while earlier in the race rivals faced early-morning doping-controls amid ongoing concerns; the Tour de France ends in Paris on Sunday.

Evenepoel edges Pogacar in stage 16 TT as night-time testing saga swirls

Remco Evenepoel won the stage 16 time trial from Evian to Thonon-les-Bains, eroding Tadej Pogacar’s overall lead to just over four-and-a-half minutes and marking a third career Tour time trial win. Teammate Florian Lipowitz crashed out with a broken collarbone late in the day. Off the road, ITA’s nocturnal drug tests on Pogacar (and Vingegaard) at 2am and 5am sparked debate about testing windows, though the results remain unknown as the race continues.
