2011 Tour de France, Stage 20

Today's stage is a 42.5km individual time trial at Grenoble. After 3 weeks of having  teammates with  to help; to help drag up mountains, and to talk through pain, the riders are now on thier own. Your teammates brought you this far, now you have to show everyone how strong you are!

Riders start 2 minutes apart, except for the top 20, who start 3 minutes apart. Before the top 20 started, Tony Martin had the best time with 55'33", and he was able to keep the best time for the stage win!

This stage brought the question, would Evans be able to take back the time from the Schlecks? From the way Evans started compared to A. Schleck, the answer was clear:

There's just something more aerodynamic from Evans's ride, which was why he was able to pull into 1st place overall, thus earning him the Yellow Jersey on the ride into Paris tomorrow. A. Schleck would be in 2nd place for the 3rd year in a row.
