Tadej Pogačar retained the yellow jersey after stage seven of the Tour de France, with no change at the top of the general classification following a time trial, but there were differences in time.
The UAE Team Emirates rider forged a decent lead on stage four, and continues to hold an advantage over Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike).
Evenepoel won stage seven, however, with the Belgian clawing 12 seconds back on Pogačar, while Vingegaard lost time on the pair above him on GC. Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) gained a few seconds on Vingegaard.
The green jersey remained on the shoulders of Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty), with effectively no changes in the points competition.
Norway’s Jonas Abrahamsen still has the king of the mountains jersey, with no points on offer on Friday.
In the young riders competition, meanwhile, there was no change, with Evenepoel remaining in the lead. He now has almost two minutes on his nearest challenge, Juan Ayuso of UAE Team Emirates.
