Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) enforced his title of vice-world champion in the time trial this Saturday during the 20th stage of the Tour de France. The Belgian, in the absence of the master of the discipline, Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers), swallowed the 30.8 kilometers of this time lap between Libourne and Saint-Émilion in 35 minutes and 53 seconds. This is his second victory on this Grande Boucle, he who raised his arms alone 10 days ago in Malaucène, after having mastered the double ascent of Mont Ventoux. Kasper Asgreen (Deceuninck-QuickStep), long installed in the leader's chair, finished second. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) never really contested the superiority of the Belgian champion and was content to manage this final effort before the Champs-Elysées.He finished 8th, 57 seconds behind the winner of the day, but will win his second consecutive Tour de France on Sunday, on the most beautiful avenue in the world.
