Pacher briefly had a small gap, but has been brought back.<\/p>\n

Alaphilippe tries an attack but does not succeed, and now Pacher counter-attacks.<\/p>\n
2025-07-19T10:19:09.912Z<\/p>\n
Simmons is at the front of the peloton, but didn’t manage to go clear.<\/p>\n
2025-07-19T10:17:36.247Z<\/p>\n
And they’re off! Quinn Simmons is on the attack immediately, with his Lidl teammate Skjelmose on his wheel.<\/p>\n
OFFICIAL START<\/p>\n
2025-07-19T10:16:52.700Z<\/p>\n
They\u2019re at kilometre 0, but the start has been delayed as a few riders have to return to the peloton.<\/p>\n
2025-07-19T10:14:31.859Z<\/p>\n
The riders are just 1km away from the official start. Some are massing towards the car, ready to launch moves.<\/p>\n

The rain has eased off for now, but it\u2019s still cloudy. If it rains some more, the long descents of the mountains on the menu today could become dangerous.<\/p>\n
2025-07-19T10:03:51.740Z<\/p>\n
The weather has changed overnight. From the searing heat of yesterday, we now have some rain and much cooler temperatures. That could change which riders excel, and which ones struggle.<\/p>\n
2025-07-19T10:02:22.686Z<\/p>\n
We’re at the D\u00e9part fictif in Pau, and will be racing in about ten minutes.<\/p>\n

For Remco Evenepoel, you expect this might be more of a defensive stage than offensive. The Belgian has looked well short of his best since entering the Pyrenees, and his place on the podium has now come under serious pressure after losing more time yesterday.<\/p>\n
‘I just could not keep pushing the power’ \u2013 Remco Evenepoel has disastrous day in Tour de France mountain time trial<\/a><\/p>\n 2025-07-19T09:49:19.604Z<\/p>\n Jonas Vingegaard might find himself 4:07 down on GC after yesterday\u2019s defeat to Poga\u010dar, but the Dane isn\u2019t giving up on the yellow jersey just yet. Today provides a chance for him to bounce back, and, along with his strong Visma-Lease a Bike team, try to put Poga\u010dar under pressure.<\/p>\n ‘The Tour is far from over’ – Jonas Vingegaard back in the fray after second place in Tour de France stage 13 time trial<\/a><\/p>\n 2025-07-19T09:44:11.202Z<\/p>\n As well as being in the yellow jersey, Poga\u010dar is four stage wins up after his cruising victory yesterday – and has his sights on more. He\u2019s the top favourite for the win today again, and his words to the media yesterday indicates that he has no intentions of giving any opportunities away.<\/p>\n ‘I’m paid to win, not give away races’ – Tadej Poga\u010dar refuses to rule out fighting for more Tour de France stage victories<\/a><\/p>\n (Image credit: Getty Images)<\/p>\n 2025-07-19T09:19:25.110Z<\/p>\n For some pre-start fun, we highly recommend this deep dive into Pog’s heavily modified mountain time trial bike from stage 14.

It has it all – the Col de Tourmalet, a summit finish on Luchon-Superbagn\u00e8res and nearly 5,000m of elevation.
This is a true leg-breaker.<\/p>\n![\"Stage](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/fZnLdCVLVKAnDrpRZojhsK.png\")
