Alberto Contador could realistically only think about moving up one spot from 4th to 3rd		share this photo

Tony Martin's beautiful TT profile		share this photo
Tony Martin setting a best time of 10:25 for the 9.2 km course which would not be beat. “It was like a prologue. I prefer the longer time trials, but I really liked this route. It was not too technical, and we were lucky with the weather, so everything was really fine. I expected a really big fight with Cancellara [NOTE: 4th overall, at 12 seconds], although in the end Malori was my closest rival. But I’ve won and I’m really happy.”		share this photo
Frustrating for Adiran Malori (Lampre - Merida). Fabian Cancellara wasn't able to beat his time, but Tony Martin did. The former Italian TT champ finished 2nd + 6s.		share this photo
The surprise of the day was Andrey Amador's (Movistar Team) 3rd place finish + 10s		share this photo
Chris Froome is an excellent time-trialist but with a short course and 34s to make up, it was unrealistic to overthrow Nibali like Nibali did to Chris Horner last year		share this photo
