The time trial between Évian-les-Bains and Thonon-les-Bains reignites the race after the rest day. Over 26.1 km, the exercise won't be reserved for pure time trialists: the terrain around Lake Geneva demands power, precision and good effort management. Time trial specialists will have a fine target, but the general classification leaders can also carve out significant gaps here. Every second will count before entering the final Alpine sequence.
