Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) started the day just six seconds ahead of Richard Carapaz (Ineos-Grenadiers) in third place. He had placed third in the first time trial so he hit the road with confidence that he would finish the day still in third. He had the extra advantge of starting his time trial two minutes behind Carapaz. This afforded him the opportunity to know what he had already done. By the second time check he was already running thirty seconds faster than Carapaz when all he had to do was not lose more than five seconds. In fact, he was out riding the Maillot Jaune of Tadej Pogacar. Unfortunately for Vingegaard the Slovenian had a five and a half minute lead on him. It should be noted that Vingegaard is only second in the Maillot Blanc competition of best young rider in the Tour. It is on loan from Pogacar while he rides around France in yellow.
