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

Someone who could win the stage has started! Stefan Bissegger is underway with his run.

The Swiss time trial specialist will be looking to set a fast time today. He may not be one of the favourites, but he certainly has the talent to cause an upset.

Michael Morkov took 45 seconds off Declercq’s time but his position at the top of the leaderboard was short lived as a third Quick Step rider took command in the shape of Dries Devenyns.

He crossed the line more to knock more than 90 seconds off the lead time.

Our first rider of the day Tim Declercq crosses the line in a time of 40 minutes and 20 seconds. He is first...out of one.

He’s time will not sit at the top of the leaderboard for very long though. We have now had more than 30 riders down the start ramp.

Another Quick Step rider goes fastest at the second checkpoint, this time it’s Dries Devenyns. He goes more than one minute faster than Michael Morkov.

Mark Cavendish’s leadout man Michael Morkov has set the fastest time at the second checkpoint at 20.1 kilometres. He has gone seven seconds faster than the Manx Missile.

Greipel has begun his individual time trial, his penultimate stage in the Tour de France. Celebrated his 39th birthday yesterday and confirmed this will be his final season as a professional.

He just looks brilliant on a bike, doesn’t he?

Cavendish sets the fastest time at the first checkpoint. Admittedly, he was only the third rider of the day to go through. But still, it’s something!

He still has a way to go and doesn’t seem to be in too much difficulty.

Legendary sprinter Andre Greipel has announced this will be his final Tour de France and that he will retire at the end of the season.

The 39-year-old has won 11 stages in the Tour and more than 150 professional races during a star-studded career.

Chapeau Andre!

Chris Froome is off! The four-time Tour de France champion starts ninth on today’s stage. Here is 133th out of 142, an alien position for him, but he seems to be enjoying it nevertheless.
