15.10 Changing of the guard! Kevin Vauquelin (Arkea-B&B Hotels) clocks an excellent 29’45”, going very close to 51 km/h! The Frenchman leads the way.
15.08 There is a fight for first place. The last 1700 meters for Vauquelin, who has certainly gained on the uphill stretch. But on the flat stretches, on paper, there is no contest…
15.05 Stefan Kung (Groupama-FDJ), one of the group’s specialists, sets off.
15.03 And Vauquelin maintains a good lead: 23’58”, 23 seconds ahead of Bissegger at the third split time!
15.01 Meanwhile, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) has also set off: the Dutchman is ninth after the first half-time.
14.59 Watch out because the transalpine is going like a train! Clearly first at the second half time, 19’04” for him with 30” on Bissegger!
14.58 Meanwhile Kevin Vaquelin (Arkea-B&B Hotels) is putting in a good performance: second fastest at the first split time, only three seconds behind the leader Stefan Bissegger.
14.56 Second time for Oier Lazkano (Movistar) who in 30’33” places himself behind Bissegger, overtaking his compatriot Garcia Pierna.
14.53 Meanwhile, the top 10 has changed, with Frenchman Thomas Gachignard (TotalEnergies) moving into tenth place.
14.51 Third time also at the last measurement for Oier Lazkano, 23” behind Bissegger: his first place does not appear to be in doubt.
14.49 Keep an eye on Alberto Bettiol’s (EF Education-Easypost) performance: departure set for 15.30.
14.46 Meanwhile, third fastest overall time at the second split time for Oier Lazkano (Movistar) in 19’52”.
14.45 Slow passage to the first half-time for Sobrero, thirty-third at 1’05” from the best time. He is not squeezing himself.
14.42 Small peculiarity: Remco Evenepoel, second in the general classification, will start wearing the white jersey of best young rider and not that of world champion in the specialty.
14.40 With these latest arrivals, Davide Ballerini leaves the top 10:
1 BISSEGGER Stefan 30.06,66 0.00 50.214
2 GARCIA LEG Raul 30.44,41 0.37,75 49.186
3 MATTHEWS Michael 30.47,05 0.40,39 49.116
4 POLITT Nils 30.49,57 0.42,91 49.049
5 DURBRIDGE Luke 31.14,83 48.388
6 MARTINEZ Lenny 31.40,84 0.26,01 47.726
7 ZINGLE Axel 32.03,08 0.48,25 47.174
8 RUSSO Clement 32.24,81 1.09,98 46.647
9 VAN DEN BERG Marijn 32.27,60 1.12,77 46.580
10 PAGE Hugo 32.27,78 1.12,95 46.576
14.38 Second place for Raul Garcia Pierna (Arkea-B&B Hotels), who stopped the clock at 30’44”.
14.37 Remember that the departures of each runner are set every 90 seconds. From the tenth onwards however the difference between one runner and the other will be two minutes.
14.34 Michael Matthews (Jayco-AlUla) takes second place, doing 40” worse than Bissegger (30’47”).
14.33 We remind you that the Swiss will also be a protagonist at the Olympics in the time trial in Paris.
14.32 30’06” for Bissegger, who obviously takes the lead in the standings. First real reference of the race. In the meantime Matteo Sobrero (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) has set off.
14.30 Nils Politt takes the lead, in 30’49”. But Bissegger is arriving…
14.27 Meanwhile Bissegger continues his race: in the lead at the second half, with Michael Matthews behind him.
14.25 Also keep an eye on German Politt, who is making a comeback and is in the lead at the third intermediate point.
14.23 Durbridge takes the lead with a time of 31.14.83.
14.18 Durbridge takes the lead at the third intermediate and cruises to first place at the finish.
14.13 And in fact at the first intermediate point Bissegger is in the lead: 16” ahead of Durbrdige.
14.10 Stefan Bissegger (EF Education – EasyPost) has started: let’s see if the Swiss will do the time trial at full speed.
14.08 The Australian also takes the lead at the second split time: 20” ahead of Martinez.
14.02 The leader changes at the first intermediate point: Luke Durbridge (Team Jayco AlUla) takes the lead.
14.00 Martinez’s arrival:

13.56 Lampaert second at the first intermediate.
13.53 Yves Lampaert has started, another rider skilled in time trials. It remains to be seen how much effort he will put in.
13.50 31.40,84 at the finish line for Martinez, excellent performance by the French rider from Groupama-FDJ at an average speed of 47.726 km/h.
13.46 Lenny Martinez continues his excellent performance, leading the second and third intermediates and taking the lead at the finish.
13.44 32.39,72 at an average speed of 46.292 km/h for Davide Ballerini who is currently in command at the finish line.
13.41 The test of Biniam Girmay who wears the Green Jersey has also begun.
13.38 Davide Ballerini is temporarily in third place, but the ranking is constantly evolving.
13.35 The French Lenny Martinez, disappointing so far, is working hard on the time trial and is leading at the second intermediate.
13.31 Very bad Wærenskjold, fourth at the first intermediate. He will not compete for the victory, but not even for the top-10.
13.27 Runners are passing the first intermediates, times which are not very relevant at the moment.

12.53 The first time trial is scheduled for today: the 25.3 km Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin time trial.
12.50 Good morning and welcome to the Live coverage of the seventh stage of the 2024 Tour de France.
Good morning friends of OA Sport and welcome to the LIVE STREAM text of the seventh stage of the Tour de France 2024.

There will be 25.3 kilometres to cover to get from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin.
The big favourite today is Remco Evenepoelworld champion in the time trial. The Belgian will try to gain as many seconds as possible on his rivals in the standings and in particular on the yellow jersey. Tadej Pogacar is called to defend the lead in the standings: after the first 6 stages the Slovenian has a 45″ advantage over the Belgian and 50″ over Vingegaard. There is also great curiosity about the performances of Primoz Roglic and Juan Ayuso, who could try to upset the bank.
At home Italy eyes are focused on what Giulio Ciccone will do. The Abruzzese showed good condition on the Galibier, climbing to ninth place in the general classification. To try to aspire to a place in the rankings, the Italian will have to limit the damage in the time trials.
The first rider to start this time trial will be Mark Cavendish, which will start its race at 1.05pm. Giulio Ciccone’s race will start at 4.44pm: from that moment on, there will be a start every two minutes until 5.00pm, Tadej Pogacar departure timeThe route is almost completely flat except for the Reulle-Vergy climb (1.6 km at 6.5%).
