The Tour's only individual time trial, on the shores of Lake Geneva, comes deep in the third week. A rolling 26km against the clock that can rewrite the GC with everyone already tired.

THE TACTICAL READ
WHO IT SUITS
The GC time-trialists — a Remco Evenepoel or a Pogačar against the clock — and the pure specialists chasing a stage win. Deep in week three, fatigue widens every gap.
WHAT TO WATCH
How much the climbers have left. A rolling 26km with everyone already tired can turn a 20-second deficit into a minute, or rescue a leader who can ride a bike against the clock.
ROADMAN PREDICTION
The biggest single reshaping of the GC outside the high mountains. The best time-trialist among the favourites takes serious time; a climbing leader who cannot follow may see the Tour slip away.
