Tour de France stage seven predictions

After a relatively calm couple of days favouring the sprinters, stage seven of the Tour de France is an individual time trial that could shake up the general classification.

Jonas Vingegaard won last year's sole time trial at the Tour, taking a minute and 38 seconds out of Tadej Pogacar on his way to overall victory, having also edged out the Slovene in the discipline the previous year.

However, Pogacar's devastating stage-four attack on the Col du Galibier suggested he had more in the tank than the defending champion and he is in good form, winning the first time trial and finishing behind only Filippo Ganna in the second on his way to Giro d'Italia glory in May.

Vingegaard will look to go big over the largely flat 25.3km route from Nuits-Saint-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin but Pog's dominance on the Galibier hints at another big ride.

Remco Evenepoel heads the betting for the stage at 4-11 with bet365 as oddsmakers have not forgotten that he is the reigning world time-trial champion even though he has had a mixed season. The Belgian won the time trial at last month's Criterium du Dauphine and should be in contention again.
