A hilly time trial. Zabriskie the favourite, Phinney and Rogers could challenge. Its likely to be Phinney v Trofimov for the race lead upon the end of the stage.
Van Winden led first, but was beaten by Lang, who was beaten by Reus, who was beaten by Ignatiev - who could not be beaten by Posthuma or Kashechkin (although the last 2 did beat Reus).
Ignatiev may be expected to dominate the seasons continental time trials, but ProTour TTs is another matter, and he is beaten by Nibali
Here comes Zabriskie though, immediately setting the fastest times
And theres no answer from Rogers. He is 22 seconds behind Zabriskie at the finish. The upside? Well current 3rd placed Nibali finds himself over a minute down on the American.
Speaking of Americans, Taylor Phinney. And he beats Zabriskie at the first check!!
The middle section is flatter, and at the check, Zabriskie has pulled into an 11 second lead over Phinney, but as the hills pick up in the final third, Phinney is closing and closing.
At the finish, theres only 3 seconds in it ...
But Zabriskie did hold on, and notches up another time trial victory.
Phinney will take the race lead though as while Trofimov finishes 5th, the Russian is still 1'20 behind Phinney, which is enough for the American.
