The candidates for a win on today's Stage 9 41.5km individual time trial may be playing it down, but like it or not, a more complete pictuꦕre of the Tour's top 10 will ꦡappear shortly after 5pm local time.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brice Feillu (Saur – Sojasun) begins proceedings at 9:45am local time with overall leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bradley Wiggins (Sky) last man out of the start house at 4:39pm.

It's a time trial that's best suited for the strong men and for this reason, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack-Nissan) and reigning world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-Lotto🔥) should be going head-to-head for the stage win.

Ma😼rtin, struggli💙ng with a fractured scaphoid since Stage 1, is cautious over what to expect.

"Today was a hard day in the mountains," Tony Martin said on Sunday. "The hand was also painful, but okay, I passed two mountain stages now. I am focused on the time trial tomorrow. Tonight I will try to fix a little my position on the bi🌊ke. We will try to find a good position with the mechanics to tune things up and have a perfect set up for tomorrow. I will try to do my best tomorrow, but it won't be easy 𒊎for me."

Martin's teammates, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Levi Leipheimer and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sylvain Chavanel will both have the opportunity to make up s💝ome of the time lost from the first two mountain stages of the Tour.

Leipheimer however believes that Stage 19's race against the clock is slightly bet🤪ter suited to his ab🍬ilities as it's comparatively flat.

When it comes to the battle for the yellow jersey, last month's Dauphine offering serves as perhaps the best yard-stick although Monday's drag to Besançon is more technical but not as difficult. While it's unlikely that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cadel Evans (BMC) will defeat Wiggins on this stage, the key for the Australian ꦉis staying within 30-40 seconds of his rival.

"Maybe looking at tomorrow, it will be a test😼 of truth," said Evans. "Each with our own two legs and we'll see if there's a possibility of turning th🍎ings upside down."

Wiggins was also not giving too much away.

"Anything's possible tomorrow. I try not to thin🥂k too negatively, and just concentr💞ate on my own race."
