Remco Evenepoel secured a significant victory in the stage seven time trial of the Tour de France, closing the gap to overall leader Tadej Pogacar to 33 seconds. This win marks Evenepoel's first Tour stage victory, making him the youngest rider to achieve stage wins in all three Grand Tours. Despite a late scare from a suspected puncture, Evenepoel dominated the 25km course, finishing 12 seconds ahead of Pogacar. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic finished third and fourth respectively, trailing further behind in the general classification. Evenepoel's performance suggests he could be a formidable challenger to Pogacar as the race continues.
