Mountain, stopwatch, sprint ... Wout Van Aert knows how to do it all.

The Belgian of the Jumbo-Visma, already winner on the double ascent of Mont Ventoux, won the time trial between Libourne and Saint-Émilion on Saturday July 17th.

He beat Kasper Asgreen and Jonas Vingegaard.

With a comfortable lead in the general classification, the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE) did not give his all and still finished eighth in the stage.

He thus keeps his yellow jersey before the last stage, in principle a simple formality, which should lead him to the Champs-Élysées where he will win his second Tour de France.
