The penultimate stage of the 2021 Tour de France is the stage 20 time trial, a final test for Tadej Pogačar and a chance for the rest of the top ten to improve or defend their position in the general classification.
If he repeats his stage five performance, Pogačar will take a fourth stage victory this race, and a third in four days.
Only six seconds separate second-place Jonas Vingegaard and third-place Richard Carapaz, the young Dane the stronger time trialler and expected to protect his runner-up spot.
For Groupama-FDJ’s Stefan Küng, he has a chance to take a much-needed stage win for his French team, after the Swiss specialist was beaten by Pogačar in the first TT in the opening week.
