As predicted, Remco Evenepoel won the first time trial of the Tour de France 2024, also the first career stage win for the TDF first-timer, with the win allowing him to gain confidence and a handful of seconds on overall leader Tadej Pogacar.

The two finished first and second, respectively, on July 5 in the Stage 7 time trial, and they're first and second in the General Classification standings heading into the more traditional Stage 8 on Saturday.

Evenepoel, the time-trial world champion, had the opportunity to pick up more than just 12 seconds on Pogacar, but a possible mechanical issue during the 25.3-kilometer run momentarily diverted his attention. 

Heading into Saturday's 183.4-kilometer Stage 8, Pogacar leads Evenepoel by 33 seconds in the GC, while two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard is 1 minute, 15 seconds off the lead.

In Stage 6 of the 2007 race, Belgium's Tom Boonen won the 199.5-kilometer journey to Bourg-en-Bresse ahead of Spain's Oscar Freire. 

The 2007 TDF was won by Spain's Alberto Contador for the first of his two Tour de France victories. He also won in 2009. He is one of seven riders in history to win all three Grand Tours (TDF, Giro d'Italia, Vuelta a España).
