Evenepoel wins second Belgian time-trial title
Over a 40.2km course, a distance comparable to the fifth-stage time-trial of the upcoming Tour on July 9 in Caen, the Olympic and world champion outclassed his competitors, finishing one minute and 11sec ahead of Florian Vermeersch. Alec Segaert was third at 1:31 in the race at Brasschaat, near Antwerp. This is Quick-Step rider Evenepoel's 20th victory in time-trials. In 2025, he had already triumphed in time-trials on the Tour de Romandie and Criterium du Dauphine. Evenepoel returned to Belgium on Thursday after a high-altitude training camp at Tignes in the French Alps where he "trained a little less than planned due to the heat". "This weekend, the Belgian championships (time-trial and road race on Sunday) are the last big block before the start of the Tour de France on July 5 in Lille," he said. "Today was tough because the route didn't offer any recovery time. But the feelings are good. That's the most important thing."

CORK'S EDDIE DUNBAR remains sixth overall after finishing comfortably in the main bunch on Thursday's fifth stage of the Criterium du Dauphine. British rider Jake Stewart won a sprint finish as Belgian Remco Evenepoel held onto the race lead.

Evenepoel, who took the yellow jersey in Wednesday's time-trial, crashed in the final kilometre but was able to resume without difficulty and lost no time in the overall standings. Evenepoel is expected to battle with Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar for the overall victory in the Alps. Dunbar currently sits 30 seconds off the lead in sixth.

Eddie Dunbar remains sixth at Criterium du Dauphine with three stages to go
Eddie Dunbar remains sixth in the Criterium du Dauphine general classification after Jake Stewart took a surprise bunch sprint victory on the 183km stage 5 in a chaotic dash for the line at Macon. The Team Jayco Alula rider, who put in an outstanding performance in yesterday's time trial to finish eighth overall and beaten by just 20 seconds by Tadej Pogacar - began the day 30 seconds down on leader Remco Evenepoel and that gap remains the same with three stages remaining. The Corkman was nestled safely among the packed bunch where Evenepoel was caught up in a late crash but was able to complete the stage. Dunbar is in esteemed company in the standings, sandwiched between Tour de France royalty. The 28-year-old is 14 seconds adrift of Jonas Vingegaard, with just eight seconds to spare over reigning Tour de France champion and three-time winner Pogacar. Wicklow native Archie Ryan was also in the leading group today and is 39th overall, 2' 25" down on Evenepoel, while EF Education-Easypost's Ben Healy finished 3' 18" down on the stage winner. Tomorrow the peloton moves into the high mountains for the first time on a short, punchy 126-kilometre run from Valserhone to Combloux, with the final two stages at the weekend the most demanding of the race.

Stewart sprints to Dauphine fifth stage win, Evenepoel holds lead
Israel Premier Tech rider Stewart claimed his first career victory in a World Tour race, edging the bunched finale ahead of Frenchman Axel Laurance and Norwegian Soren Waerenskjold after the hilly 183km run from Saint-Priest to Macon. "That one feels good," said the 25-year-old who finished fifth in Sunday's opening stage in Montlucon. "The boys backed me... and the team backed me, they did an awesome job, so I'm just so happy that I could finish it off for them." The Israel Premier Tech team managed to win despite the race retirement of its German sprinter Pascal Ackermann, who fell during the stage. "It's such a shame with Ackermann, he crashed again today, and it was handed over to me there for the final, but it was also a really good day for him, so I'm gutted that he didn't get to contest the finish," added Stewart. Evenepoel, who took the yellow jersey since Wednesday's time-trial, crashed in the final kilometre but was able to resume without difficulty and lost no time in the overall standings. "There are no major injuries, just small scratches," said the Belgian. "I was coming out of the roundabout, I wanted to accelerate, and I slipped. My hands were slippery from the wet weather, so maybe I slipped off the handlebars or started pedalling too early." Evenepoel is expected to battle with Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar for the overall victory in the Alps. Jonathan Milan, winner of the second stage in Issoire on Monday, was the favourite in the event of a bunch sprint. On the Cote des Quatre Vents -- the final climb of the stage over 5.4km at a 4.6 percent gradient -- the towering Italian resisted the acceleration of Mathieu van der Poel's Alpecin-Deceuninck teammates. But he paid for his efforts afterwards, only finishing fifth in the sprint, despite having been ideally placed by his Lidl-Trek teammates. Friday's sixth stage is a hilly 126.7km run from Valserhone to Combloux near the border with Switzerland.
