Stage 16 of the 2026 Tour de France brought the race's only
individual time trial: 26.1km from Évian-les-Bains to
Thonon-les-Bains, featuring a punchy parcours with 500 metres of
climbing that suited the all-rounders far more than the pure
specialists. Remco Evenepoel reminded everyone why he is one of the
greatest time triallists of his generation, storming to victory on
Belgium's National Day to claim his 26th career TT win. Tadej
Pogačar limited his losses superbly to finish second, while Mattias
Skjelmose produced an excellent ride for third. Paul Seixas
continued his remarkable Tour with fourth, narrowly ahead of Isaac
Del Toro as the battle for the white jersey edged even closer. The
overall classification remains largely unchanged. Pogačar still
holds a commanding lead, while Evenepoel strengthened his grip on
second place, with Jonas Vingegaard now out of the race after the
crash on Stage 15. Behind them, however, the fight for the final
podium position between Del Toro and Seixas is becoming one of the
defining battles of this Tour. The biggest moment of the day came
when Florian Lipowitz crashed heavily midway through his ride,
forcing him to abandon the race. His exit reshapes the top 10,
promotes a host of riders up the standings, and opens the door for
Yannis Voisard to move into the overall top 10. We also discuss why
this wasn't a course designed for pure time trial specialists.
Filippo Ganna and Josh Tarling delivered the performances many
expected, but on a climbing-heavy route, they were never likely to
challenge for victory against riders like Evenepoel and Pogačar.
And we caught up with Pete Kennaugh at the XDS-Astana team hotel on
the rest day to hear his thoughts on how the race has unfolded so
far, and we tackle the burning question: Was Jonas Vingegaard’s
crash a result of the doping test that woke him up in the middle of
the night? Ned Boulting and David Millar break down Stage 16 of the
Tour de France 2026. Music courtesy of BMG Production Music
