Tour de France 2021 LIVE: Stage 20 results and reaction from time trial route from Libourne to Saint-Emilion

Bissegger crosses the line to set the new benchmark. You imagine it will be beaten by the likes of Kung, Van Aert, Vingegaard and Pogacar. Still, a really impressive ride nevertheless.

No rider other than Tadej Pogacar has won a time trial at the Tour de France for two years. Slightly over-inflated stat given there have only been two so far.

Still, will that change today?

Bissegger goes faster than Bjerg! The margin in the end was just eight seconds but still good enough. His time was 36 minutes and 37 seconds.

Bjerg coasting to another catch.

Mikkel Bjerg has caught Lukas Pöstlberger and Petr Vakoc during his run. You can see the difference between those going for the win and those just simply getting the job done.

Bjerg sets the best time. 36’45 for the Dane as he takes more than one minute off the time of Walscheid. Bissegger looks like he is going to go even faster though.

Stefan Bissegger goes 18 seconds faster than Mikkel Bjerg at the second time check. Really impressive from the Swiss rider so far. Let’s see if he can keep it going for the final 10km.

Some more big names set off onto the 30.8 kilometre circuit. Classics specialists Philippe Gilbert and Greg van Avermaet are out on the course.

Quiet Tour de France for both men who have won stages of the race in the past.

New fastest time! Max Walscheid knocks four seconds off of Dries Devenyns’ time as he tops the leaderboard with a time of 37’54.

Good time trialists out on the course now though including Mikkel Bjerg and Stefan Bissegger.

Here was Mark Cavendish finishing his time trial today. A routine day’s work for the green jersey as he prepares for Paris.

Edward Theuns sits 105th in the general classification and he is the next man down the start ramp. A long, long way to go.

Devenyns still holds the fastest time so far.
