The road
How it was won
- 7 km to go
Dumoulin fastest at the check
Half distance through the Utrecht heat and Tom Dumoulin is quickest of the favourites, a whole country roaring for a first Dutch yellow jersey since 1989. Like Martin and Cancellara after him, he unravels in the second half.

Rohan Dennis stops the clock at an average of 55.4kph — the fastest individual time trial ever ridden at the Tour, beating Boardman's 1994 mark — and takes yellow, green and white in one hot, windy afternoon.
