Jonas Vingegaard powers closer to Tour de France title with dominant stage 16 time trial victory

The reigning champion now leads by 1-48 in the overall standings ahead of Tadej Pogačar

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) is in the driving seat to win his second Tour de France title, after beating his rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by one minute and 38 seconds in Tuesday's uphill individual time trial.

The Dane was the only rider to average in excess of 40km/h around the 22.4km Alpine course, ultimately clocking 41.4km/h at the finish line in Combloux with a time of 32-36.

"I was feeling great today," Vingegaard said in his post-race interview. "I think it's the best time trial I've ever done. I'm really proud of what I did today and I'm really happy about the victory."

The Jumbo-Visma rider, who went into stage 16 with a GC advantage of just 10 seconds, now leads the race by 1-48, tightening his grip on the yellow jersey. 

"Today, I even surprised myself with the time trial I did. I didn't expect to do so well in the time trial today," he said. "There are still a lot of hard stages to come. We have to keep fighting over the next days and we're looking forward to it."

The victory marked Vingegaard's first in a WorldTour time trial, and the first for his team at this year's Tour de France. His Jumbo-Visma team-mate, Wout van Aert, came third, 2-51 adrift of the stage winner. 

There were changes in the overall standings , too, as Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) took back 24 seconds on Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) and bunnyhopped the Spaniard into the final podium spot.

How it happened

Drama came from the gun on stage 16. Leaving the start ramp in Passy, where conditions were hot and dry, three of the opening 15 riders slid out on the first corner, just 200m into the course. The trio involved - John Degenkolb, Nils Eekhoff (dsm-firmenich) and Alexis Renard (Cofidis) - all brushed themselves off and remounted their bikes, but the crashes sent a warning message to those that followed. 

First down the ramp, Michael Mørkøv (Soudal Quick-Step) was also the first to finish, setting the initial benchmark of 39-46, and averaging 33.8km/h. Quickly, though, the times began to tumble, and the Dane’s team-mate Rémi Cavagna went into the hot seat, shaving four minutes off the opening time.

The Frenchman’s time went mostly unchallenged for the majority of the afternoon. The weather forecasts promised rain, but the clouds never formed, leaving the stage favourites with a dry run at the course. 

Still looking for his first victory at this year's Tour, Wout van Aert was the man to end Cavagna's reign in the provisional standings. The Belgian, who has now clocked four top-three finishes, came in at 35-27, averaging just short of 38km/h. 

When Vingegaard and Pogačar set off, however, Van Aert knew his days were numbered. 

As expected, the duo took to the course with intent. Just 10 seconds separated them at the start of the day, and with opportunities falling away before this Sunday in Paris, Pogačar knew he had to do something special. Sadly for him, Vingegaard was on a blinder. 

Immediately, the Dane began closing the gap to his two-minute man. By the halfway point, he was 30 seconds up on the UAE Team Emirates rider, and he was only getting faster. 

At the foot of the Côte de Domancy, a 2.5km kicker pitched at near 10%, Pogačar chose to swap to his road bike, losing further seconds in the changeover that he hoped to make up. Vingegaard stuck with his TT machine, and his advantage swung out to 50 seconds. 

From there, the gap kept moving in favour of the reigning champion. It went over a minute. 1-10. 1-20. Not once did he falter. Vingegaard ultimately crossed the line with Pogačar in sight, bettering the Slovenian's time by 1-38.  

"I even surprised myself," Vingegaard said afterwards, but asked if the Tour de France is over, he smiled and delivered an honest "no". 

On Wednesday, the battle for the yellow jersey will continue over the hors catégorie Col de la Loze. Vingegaard might be winning, but the race is not yet won.

Tour de France 2023 Stage 16: How to watch on Tuesday, TV and live stream details, start time, route map

Published 17/07/2023 at 21:30 GMT

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo Visma) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) remain locked in first and second respectively in the General Classification battle. After a rest day on Monday, the race resumes on Tuesday with the Tour’s only individual time trial; a 22.4km race from Passy to Combloux. The race should favour the front pair who happen to be two of the race’s best time trialists.

Stage 16 — Tuesday, July 18 Passy to Combloux Distance: 22.4km (13.9 miles) Profile: Individual time trial

Stage 16: An important test in the battle for yellow in Paris

This is not a typical Tour time trial. It most resembles the 17km test in the same area in 2016, when Chris Froome consolidated his yellow jersey by overcoming TT specialist Tom Dumoulin by 21 seconds, while climbers Fabio Aru (at 33 seconds) and Bardet (at 42 seconds) placed in the top five.

This year’s TT is 5km longer. It first heads across the Arve valley to tackle the steep 1.3km Côte de la Cascade de Coeur, which has pitches of 12- and 13-percent; then gently descends on a road with long sweeping bends where you can ride flat out.

It continues on a flat middle section along the valley; and then climbs for the remaining 6km on the same roads as 2016 — first, up the narrow 2.5-km Domancy hill that features double-digit grades and then on a wider main road to the finish in Combloux.

Stage favorites: GC contenders and time trial specialists to tussle for stage honors

The teams will face a dilemma in the time trial, with the decision potentially affecting the final result. Should they start with an aero TT bike and lose time on the climbs while gaining on the flat, or should they consider a bike change before the uphill finale?

Seven years ago, most of the riders used road bikes with tri-bar extensions. They will have had a rest day to study all the possibilities, but what’s certain is that this will be a crucial stage in the yellow jersey stakes between race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates).

They are separated by just ten seconds, are both at an extremely high level, and are tussling hard for final Tour victory in Paris on Sunday. This time trial could be absolutely crucial to the final result. It may also determine third place overall, with that also in the balance.

Hinault’s 1980 stomping ground

As with the other stage towns in the Alps, skiing is an important winter sport in the Passy area. The Tour de France has passed through on several occasions in the summer but, until this year, the race had never started or finished from there. However it has previous history as a stage host for both the Tour de la Vallée d’Aoste and the Tour des pays de Savoie.

Combloux has also never been a stage town, although the Tour peloton has passed through there on several occasions, including last year. It is situated just 4 km from the famous Domancy hill where Bernard Hinault raced to his world championship victory in 1980. This hill features in the stage 16 time trial.

Culture and food

The Église Notre-Dame-de-Toute-Grâce du plateau d’Assy was constructed in the Passy commune between 1937 and 1946. A wide number of celebrated artists contributed works to the church, amongst them the famous painter Henri Matisse.

Combloux was nicknamed the Pearl of the Alps by the writer Victor Hugo, who was impressed by its glaciers. Celebrations include the Festival of the Fanfares (featuring brassbands) of Haute-Savoie, and the festival of regional gastronomy and heritage.

Passy’s foods include Farcement, a traditional Savoy sweet and sour dish dating back to the Middle Ages that can be served as a dish or a dessert. There are variants, but dried fruit (mainly prunes, raisins and figs) in a savoury base is a core part, as is potato.

Regional foods of Combloux include péla, the ancestor of tartiflette. It is very similar, except the potatoes are not peeled and the whole dish is cooked in a pan. It is sometimes defined as a fricassee with Reblochon cheese.

Start time (13.05 CET, 7.05 a.m. EST, 4.05 a.m. WST), estimated finishing time (17.36 CET, 11.36 a.m. EST, 8.36 a.m. WST)

Start Times and Order Time Trial. This Tuesday, July 18, the 16th stage of the Tour de France 2023 will take place, an individual time trial of 22.4 kilometers between Passy and Combloux with a quite hard profile that could define the general classification between Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard .

Let's remember that the Slovenian will arrive on Tuesday after the second rest day with 10 seconds behind Jonas Vingegaard, and the challenge against the clock could prove absolutely crucial upon such gaps.

Giro d'Italia 2024: Preview, full schedule and how to watch live

The Giro d’Italia 2024 is about to kick off the Grand Tour season in men’s road cycling .

On Saturday 4 May, Venaria Reale will host the opening stage of the 107 th edition of the Corsa Rosa that will see its conclusion three weeks later in Rome on Sunday 26 May.

All eyes will be on the Slovenian superstar Tadej Pogacar , who aims to become the first rider since Marco Pantani in 1998 to achieve the Giro-Tour double.

Reigning champion and Olympic time trial gold medallist, Primoz Roglic , will not be defending his crown, as he has got his eyes set on the Tour de France.

The 2024 edition of the Italian Grand Tour features gruelling mountain stages in the Alps, gravel roads in Tuscany and more than 70 kilometres of time trial. The winner will lift the prestigious Trofeo Senza Fine (Endless Trophy) and wear the coveted Maglia Rosa in the Italian capital.

This year's race will cover a total of 3400.8 kilometres , making it the shortest edition in 45 years.

Find everything you need to know about the Giro d’Italia 2024 below, including the riders to look out for and how to watch the event live.

Who are the riders to watch at the Giro d’Italia 2024?

Pink jersey (general classification).

There is one overwhelming favourite for the Giro d’Italia 2024, and that is Tadej Pogacar .

Fresh off his second Liège–Bastogne–Liège title in impressive fashion, the two-time Tour de France winner is arriving to Italy in top shape.

Pogacar started his season by conquering the gravel roads of Strade Bianche , riding 81 kilometres solo to claim victory in Siena.

At Volta a Catalunya , the Slovenian swept four out of seven stages, securing the overall victory and sending a clear message to his rivals at the Giro about who the man to beat is.

Geraint Thomas suffered heartbreak at last year’s Giro d’italia, narrowly missing out on the overall victory by just 14 seconds.

The 2018 Tour de France champion was leading the race going into the penultimate stage, only to relinquish the pink jersey to Primoz Roglic after the Slovenian's formidable performance in the individual time trial.

The INEOS Grenadiers leader has some unfinished business with the Corsa Rosa and will try to pose a challenge to Pogacar.

Among the outsiders is Australia's Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R), who finished fourth in the 2021 Tour de France.

This year, the 28-year-old has consistently finished within the top five in week-long stage races. At the Giro d'Italia warm-up race, the Tour of the Alps, he was the runner-up behind the former Maglia Rosa wearer Juan Pedro Lopez , who also will be lining up at the start line in Venaria Reale.

French veteran Romain Bardet recently said that he is at his best level in years and is convinced he can challenge for the podium.

A second place at the Liège–Bastogne–Liège behind Pogacar was a boost of morale for the 33-year-old, who has not been on a Grand Tour podium since 2018, when he finished third at the Tour de France.

Daniel Martínez will lead the BORA - hansgrohe team. The Colombian climber is no longer in the shadow of INEOS stars Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal , following his move to the German team ahead of this season.

In 2021, Martínez was a strong domestique for compatriot Bernal and helped him secure the overall victory. He also achieved his best overall result in a Grand Tour by finishing in the top five that year. With the absence of teammate Roglic, it is up to Martínez to secure a top result.

“The Killer Bees” Team Visma|Lease a Bike made history in 2023, becoming the first team to claim all three Grand Tours in a single year. Although a repetition of the historic achievement looks difficult, the Dutch team have put their faith in 21-year-old prodigy Cian Uijtdebroeks .

The Belgian has been under the wings of reigning Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard at the O Gran Camiño and Tirreno-Adriatico. Now he faces the ultimate test as Grand Tour captain.

Cyclamen jersey (points classification)

This year’s course is more sprinter-friendly than usual, featuring eight expected mass sprint finishes. Jonathan Milan of Lidl-Trek will aim to defend the maglia ciclamino (mauve jersey for the points classification) that he secured last year.

However, he will face a fierce competition for the mauve jersey as several of the world's top sprinters will travel to Italy.

Soudal Quick-Step will fully support Remco Evenepoel at the Tour de France, giving Tim Merlier the opportunity to pursue success at the Giro.

The Belgian has been one of the fastest sprinters during the first part of the season, winning three stages at the UAE Tour, the Nokere Koerse, and the sprinters’ classic Scheldeprijs.

Another challenge will come from Australian Kaden Groves . In 2023, the Alpecin-Deceuninck rider added stage wins at both the Giro and the Vuelta a España, where he also left with the green jersey.

Biniam Girmay will be back on Italian soil, where he outsprinted Mathieu van der Poel in the Giro two years ago to take his first Grand Tour stage victory. The Eritrean looks to be close to his form from 2022.

Dutch sprinter Olav Kooij will finally get his Grand Tour debut. The 22-year-old beat Mads Pedersen twice to claim two stage wins at the Paris-Nice in March and is one of the most promising sprinters in the peloton.

Five-time Vuelta a España stage winner Fabio Jakobsen is set to race his first Giro and can complete the set of Grand Tour wins, having already secured a stage victory at the Tour de France in 2022.

Will Filippo Ganna sprint for stage wins again? The Italian time trial specialist was fighting in the bunch sprints at last year’s Vuelta a España and showed a new side of his talent.

Despite not having shone in the last couple of years, Caleb Ewan and Fernando Gaviria are both multiple Grand Tour stage winners and they have the power to be competitive in the bunch sprints.

Blue jersey (mountains classification)

Unlike in the Tour de France, the winner of the mountains classification in the Giro d’Italia is usually not the same as the winner of the general classification.

Thibaut Pinot , who has since retired, clinched the blue jersey in the previous edition while finishing fifth overall.

However, the breakaway riders often view for the mountains classification.

A potential contender is Simon Geschke of Cofidis. The German rider was close to seal the polka dot jersey at the Tour de France in 2022, but ultimately Jonas Vingegaard ended up with both the yellow and polka dot jersey.

Other names to watch are Britain's Simon Carr , who just won a stage and the mountains classification at the Tour of the Alps, and Dutchman Koen Bouwman , who is aiming for his second blue jersey after claiming it in 2022.

Key stages of the Giro d’Italia 2024

Five stages are singled out by cycling experts as the most decisive for the Giro d'Italia 2024.

The first one arrives already on stage two , which is the earliest summit finish in 35 years. It is a true climbing test, which takes the peloton to Santuario di Oropa (6.2% over 11.8km) and will give an early indication of who will be the main general classification contenders.

A 40.6-kilometre time trial awaits the peloton on stage seven . The course is technical and the uphill finish should shake up the top ten. Some will see it as an oppornunity to gain time, while others will try to limit their losses.

Stage 15 is the queen stage of the 2024 Giro d’Italia. Containing 5,200 metres of elevation gain over 220 kilometres, it is a brutal day in the mountains. Hopefully, snowfall will not affect this blockbuster Alpine stage.

The riders get a rest day following the queen stage, but already on stage 16 , climbing legs will be tested again. It includes the Passo dello Stelvio , the Cima Coppi of this year’s race. At an elevation of 2,757 metres it is the second highest pass in the Alps.

The lack of oxygen at high altitude will make the peloton suffer. With over 100 kilometres remaining from the summit of Stelvio, the favourites who might fall behind still have the chance to catch up before the final ascents to Passo Pinei and Monte Pana.

Stage 20 , the penultimate stage before the procession around the streets of Rome, promises a decisive battle in the mountains for the final general classification. Two gruelling ascents of Monte Grappa - 18.2 kilometres at 8.1% - will determine who earns the right to wear the pink jersey in Rome and hoist the Endless Trophy .

La Vuelta Femenina 2024: Route, How to Watch, and Favorites

Demi Vollering, Kasia Niewiadoma, and Gaia Realini will battle for the red jersey on the challenging eight-stage tour across Spain.

As of this Sunday, April 29, we’re officially in Grand Tour season, as the eight-stage Vuelta Femenina kicks off with a 16-kilometer team time trial in Valencia, Spain.

Last year’s race covered just over 740 kilometers over the course of its seven stages. It was won by Movistar’s Annemiek van Vleuten , who, with the win, became the first woman to win all three of the major women’s stage races (the Vuelta, along with the Tour de France Femmes, and the Giro Donne). She beat SD Worx’s Demi Vollering but just nine seconds. Trek-Segafredo’s Gaia Realini rounded out the podium in third.

But van Vleuten retired after last season, meaning there’s no chance for a repeat winner. And given the variety of winners we’ve seen in the women’s peloton this spring, this race is truly up for grabs.

This year’s race adds a stage, making it eight in total. All of them stick exclusively to Spain’s northwest and northcentral regions.

It kicks off with what should be a blistering team time trial over 16 lake-flat kilometers. From there, the second stage will take riders from Buñol to Moncofa over 118 hilly kilometers, including just one Category 3 climb. As that climb comes 40 kilometers from the finish, expect a bunch sprint.

The third stage is a 131-kilometer medium mountain stage that will take riders from Lucena to Teruel and feature another Category 3 ascent. Stage four covers 142 kilometers from Molina de Aragón to Zaragoza and is mostly downhill from start to finish.

The 113 kilometers of stage 5 are where the peloton first gets into proper mountains, with a pair of category 2 climbs—one of which provides the day’s summit finish—on the menu. Stage 6 is the opposite of stage 4, taking riders on a daylong gradual uphill from Tarazona to Laguna Negra, ending with a category 1 summit finish that very well could determine the race’s overall winner.

Stage 7 could be the last chance for the sprinters to leave their mark. However, the final 500 meters of the day’s 126 kilometers ramp up to 10%, so look for a punchier rider to take the win there.

The Vuelta Feminina will end with an 89-kilometer ride from Distrito Telefónca to ValdesquíMadrid. The ride features a pair of category-1 climbs, the last of which leads to the race’s final finish line.

Complete information on each stage can be found here .

How to Watch

The Vuelta Feminina will be broadcast in the US via Peacock , which costs $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year. In Canada, the race will be broadcast via FloSports , which costs $12.50 per month or $150 per year.

Riders to Watch

While the final roster for the race is yet to be final, several confirmed names promise another competitive edition. Among the riders targeting the general classification are Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift champion Demi Vollering of SD Worx-Protime, Gaia Realini of Lidl-Trek, who graced the podium last year, and the consistently impressive Kasia Niewiadoma of SD Worx-Protime. With the absence of retired defending champion Anemiek Van Vleuten and Vollering showing signs of wavering form this season, the battle for the coveted red jersey appears wide open.

Other riders to watch are the 2024 Tour of Flanders champion Elisa Longo Borghini of Lidl-Trek, Canyon//SRAM’s Ricarda Bauernfeind , and Mavi García of Liv Alula Jayco.
