Remco Evenepoel won stage five of the Tour de France, a 33km individual time trial starting and finishing in Caen.

The Soudal Quick Step rider, world champion in the specialty, finished with a time of 36'42" ahead of Tadej Pogacar, 16 seconds behind, and the excellent Edoardo Affini, third at 33 seconds.

The loser of the day was Jonas Vingegaard: the Dane lost 1'21" to Evenepoel and over a minute to Pogacar, finishing 13th.

Primoz Roglic also performed poorly, while his Red Bull Bora hansgrohe teammate, Florian Lipowitz, performed well.

In the general classification, Pogacar returns to the yellow jersey.
