Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe team's Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel celebrates on the podium after winning the 16th stage of the 113th edition of the Tour de France.

Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel stormed to victory in Tuesday's 26.1km individual time-trial at the Tour de France to shave valuable seconds off Tadej Pogacar's overall lead.

Belgian Evenepoel, 26, blasted over the stage 16 course along the shores of Lake Geneva 28 seconds quicker than reigning champion Pogacar in second.

Everyone else finished more than a minute back, with Dane Mattias Skjelmose taking third at 1min 04sec.

That performance by the world and Olympic time-trial champion — on Belgium's national holiday — cut four-time Tour winner Pogacar's overall lead to 4min 32sec.
