Jonas Vingegaard tightened his grip on the yellow jersey in the Tour de France after he blew away Tadej Pogacar in the individual time trial.
The Dane won the 22.4km stage 16 from Passy to Combloux in 32 minutes 36 seconds on a decisive day of the Tour.
Vingegaard increased his overall lead over Slovenian Pogacar to one minute and 48 seconds.
Pogacar now faces a battle to claw back ground on the defending champion with just five stages of the Tour left.
“Is the Tour de France over? No. There’s still a lot of hard stages to go. We have to keep fighting for the stages to come,” Vingegaard said.
“I think it’s the best time trial I have ever done and I think today I surprised myself with the time trial I did. I did not expect to do so well, it’s my first time trial win in the Tour de France.
“I was feeling great today and I am really happy with the victory. I want to say thanks for the team. They guided me well today.”
