As expected, like he did last year, Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack-Nissan) wins the final day time-trial. 9.3 km in 10:36.		share this photo
Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack-Nissan) crossing with a new best time which would stick. As you can see, the finish (and the rest of the course) was very flat.		share this photo
Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas) looking much smoother than his GC rivals on his way to a 9th place ride + 20s		share this photo
Race leader Chris Horner (RadioShack-Nissan) wasn't able to finish it off. He placed 34th +40s which dropped him down to 2nd overall.		share this photo
Roman Kreuziger (Astana) kept shifting back on his saddle. He finished 39th + 47s which dropped from 2nd to 3rd overall		share this photo
While Vincenzo Nibali held his form to the finish...		share this photo
Chris Horner had a slower cadence, seemed to tie up near the finish and was out of the saddle for the last 500m. Not ideal aerodynamics for a flat TT. A great result nonetheless after sitting out 8 months of racing following his Tour de France crash.		share this photo
Fabian Cancellara adds another TT win to his palmarès		share this photo
After placing 9th on the final day 9.3 km ITT and beating Chris Horner by 20s, Vincenzo Nibali dons the Blue jersey when it counts most... on the last day. As @jasonschweitzer noted, "Nibali earned it. Time bonuses of 10s, 6s and 4s past 3 stages, plus 16s and 20s faster finish times on Horner. 56s total!" Or, in other words, Nibali overcame the strong RadioShack-Nissan and poor Liquigas TTT results on the first day.		share this photo
