He missed the start of the time trial, but he still finished in the top ten.

At the Tour de France, Dutch cyclist Thymen Arensman made a significant error by arriving late at the start line of an individual time trial. He missed the starting signal by approximately 15 seconds due to a mix-up within his team, the Netcompany Ineos squad. Despite this disadvantage, Arensman managed to finish seventh overall, completing the 26.1-kilometer course in a time that placed him just over a minute behind the winner, Remco Evenepoel. Arensman acknowledged his mistake but emphasized that he was focused on his performance and had not been properly informed by his team or the UCI officials about the start procedure. He expressed frustration but stated he would try to turn the experience into motivation.
