Rui Costa of UAE Team Emirates holds the Point d’Appui after Michael Woods slipped one spot during the time trials of Stage 5 of the 2021 Tour de France.

Mathieu Van der Poel, not a classic time trialist, rode well enough to retain the yellow jersey, although a flawless race by Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates allowed him to erase the time differences incurred earlier in the race.

Amund Grøndahl Jansen of Team BikeExchange retains the Lanterne Rouge.
