The 27th rider HTC-Columbia's Tony Martin posted a time of 1h 01' 13" but once again finished second to Fabian Cancellara (+ 00' 17")		share this photo
The world champ Fabian Cancellara		share this photo
Without officials or tv cameras around, these riders decided to "team" time trial		share this photo
The only thing noteworthy about Edvald Boasson Hagen's performance was his funky national champs kit and the reflection in his visor. 151st place for a national champ wasn't so cool though. Maybe he's saving himself for the final day sprint.		share this photo
Garmin's national champ, Dave Zabriskie, came through in 5th 1h03'56" (+ 03'00")		share this photo
The early riders, like Fabian Cancellara had a favorable wind. Later riders were cycling into the wind.		share this photo
Cancellara completed the 52 km course in just over 50 kph. The winning time was 1h00'56".		share this photo
Taking time for a vineyards shot. Our photo correspondent, Colin Flockton, captured the early and final riders so he must have been out on the course for almost eight hours!		share this photo
Lance Armstrong said he took it easy today. He finished 67th (+ 7'05")		share this photo
Many were hoping Lance would light it up in his final time-trial performance		share this photo
Now onto the later riders. Garmin's Johan van Summeren wasn't fully clipped in coming down the start ramp and wiped out...		share this photo
... and never got on track after that finishing 139th (+ 09'29")		share this photo
Garmin's Ryder Hesjedal out of the start gate focused on moving up the GC again today (and not wiping out like his teammate did)		share this photo

Needless to say, Joaquin Rodriguez suffered miserably today finishing 154th (+ 10'14") but only gave up one GC spot (7th to 8th)		share this photo
Sammy Sanchez didn't have a bad ride finishing 40th (+ 05' 51"), but he lost the 3rd podium spot to Denis Menchov		share this photo
At one point Andy Schleck was actually ahead of Alberto Contador at an early checkpoint		share this photo
Alberto Contador was all over his machine, but he was more aerodynamic than Andy Schleck. "At one point, I got information that I was five seconds behind him and I did think, 'Oh my God, this could be over for me'"		share this photo
But, he settled in and started to stretch out his lead		share this photo
The Yellow Jersey needed all the support he could get today		share this photo

Fabian Cancellara had never won the final TT at the Tour de France until today. With his early start time, he had to wait over five hours until it was official.		share this photo

With one more (ceremonial) stage to go, Alberto Contador is the race winner		share this photo
Sometimes the toughest wins are the best wins		share this photo
