It's time for the time trial bikes to come out and one of our first riders to complete todays course is Reyes who will end up in 75th place

Martyn Irvine of UnitedHealthcare soon follows with a better time of 42m 34s

His team mate Ben Day beats him ever so slightly to go provisionally first

A lot is expected of Craddock/Bontrager and he will finish the day in 22nd place

Maarten Tjallingii/Belkin Pro Cycling Team just makes it inside the top 30

Favourite for the win today Phinney/BMC Racing races around in 40m 29s and now leads

Pate/Team Sky was expected to challenge but disappoints

Zabriskie/Garmin-Sharp will finish over a minute behind

Our main hope Van Garderen loses out by 46s

And just two riders remain, Cancellara of Radioshack-Leopard

And Wiggins of Team Sky, but can either of them grab the stage win

Peter Sagan - Cannondale Pro Cycling

Karsten Kroon - Team Saxo - Tinkoff

Sky Procycling

A Good effort from Tejay today which keeps him up there on the GC and also gives him the Young Rider lead too

Cooke/Team Exergy, Mannion/Bontrager, Grajales/Competitive Cyclist, Hagman/Jelly Belly and Berry/Chipotle First Solar are ahead up the road with a lead of 4m 52s

Mancebo/5 Hour Energy is chasing them down alone

Mancebo has found himself at the front so he slows down to wait for the others

He still continues on his lone ride

He has powered himself to a lead of over five minutes

Belkin are leading a chase group of forty one riders

With such an advantage he can afford to ease up on the pedals a bit

Mancebo heads under the flame rouge

And he wins a great solo victory for himself and the team

Tyler Farrar - Garmin - Sharp

Edvald Boasson Hagen - Sky Procycling

BMC Racing Team

Another good effort form Tejay today which results in him getting in to the podium places

A large group of twelve riders have been given there chance to shine in front of the TV cameras

McCartney/Bissell Pro Cycling has managed to go clear on the descent of the first climb

Six of the original breakaway group have made it back to him

The peleton are over seven minutes behind the action

A reduced peleton of just 92 riders have got the gap to under four minutes

Danielson/Garmin-Sharp decides to leave the safety of the peleton and go it alone

Race Leader Gesink/Belkin and Horner/Radioshack Leopard join him and soon they are in the company of the breakaways

Under the red kite and the three additions launch there attack for the line

And its Danielson who is the one who celebrates

Robert Gesink - Belkin Pro Cycling Team

Fred Rodriguez - Team Exergy

Garmin - Sharp

That was certainly a day of suffering for the guys today with only Tejay managing to get inside the top 50, but unfortunately he loses his podium place.
He still has the Young Rider jersey on his shoulders though

The first rider to stretch his legs today is Martz/Hincapie Sportswear

It wasn't long before he was joined by Selander/Team Optum and Berry/Chipotle First Solar

Before long we had a lead group of eight riders with a lead of 2m 47s, the additions were Tvetcov/Team Exergy, Lindgren/Competitive Cyclist, Brown/Bontrager, Day/UnitedHealthcare and Magnell/Bear Development

Garmin-Sharp and Jamis Hagens were trying to organise some sort of chase at the front of the pack

A minute has been cut from their advantage

Its still the same two teams chasing from behind

Lindgren gives it one last push as the peleton finally closes in on there prey

Bowden/Team Novo Nordisk has managed to force his way to the front of the race

Phinney/BMC Racing launches himself in to the final kilometre, can he hold on

The answer to that is NO as Viviani/Cannondale powers past to grab the final stage from Farrar/Garmin-Sharp
