The first Time Trial of the Tour.

Evenepoel should be the main favorite, but Pogacar did some serious performances at the Giro, and Vingegaard on past Tours has dominated the discipline.

The difference between Pogacar and Vingegaard could shape the Tour. If the later is able to recover time, it will be interesting, but if Pogacar gains even more time, the Tour could be almost over.

Cicone starts at 16.44 and with two minutes between them until Pogacar starts at 17.00

It also takes a lot of skill to be able to corner right while being in the extensions. It's a very different skill, because you don't have easy access to the brakes. Calculate that corner wrong, and you're off the road, or in the fence.

But if you're Tom Pidcock, it's less of a problem
