EVIAN-LES-BAINS (France): Belgian Remco Evenepoel’s status as a three-time individual time trial (ITT) world champion makes him the favourite to win stage 16 of the Tour de France and solidify his position as runner-up to Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar.

Evenepoel capitalised on Jonas Vingegaard’s withdrawal from the race on Sunday, after the Dane broke his collarbone in a crash, and eventually claimed a stage win at the Plateau de Solaison to move up to second in the general classification.
