After he claimed Belgium’s 500th Tour de France stage win on Stage 15, Remco Eveneepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) delivered a masterclass in the 26.1 km individual time trial between Évian-les-Bains and Thonon-les-Bains.
This is the tenth Belgian stage win on their national day, the first since Rudy Matthijs won on the Champs-Élysées on 21 July 1985! Just like on Sunday, Evenepoel got the better of Tadej Pogacar to take a third ITT stage win in as many editions of the Tour, following previous successes in Gevrey-Chambertin (2024) and Caen (2025).
In the battle for the podium, Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM) gained a handful of seconds but Isaac del Toro (UAE Emirates XRG) remains in third place. Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) abandoned after a crash.
