Jumbo-Visma leader Primož Roglič has quietly been licking his wounds since his high-speed crash on stage 3 of the Tour de France and managed to fight the pain during the Laval time trial to keep his overall ambitions alive. 

There was nowhere for the Slovenian to hide in the stage 5 27.2km rolling time trial but he bravely dug deep to limit his losses. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) again gained time with another supersonic time trial.
