Tony Martin (Omega Pharma Quick Step) in front of Rigoberto Uran (Omega Pharma Quick Step) and Fabian Cancellara (Trek) - the time trialists dominate the time trial ... on the 36,7 kilometer route the tour specialists had no chance of a day's success. Nevertheless, the big winner of the day is Alberto Contador (Tinkoff Saxo), who finished fourth today, losing just 39 seconds to Tony Martin.
Contador benefited from the fall of the overall leader Nairo Quintana (Movistar), who lost a lot of time and thus had to hand over the lead to Contador. He is now 27 seconds ahead of Alejandro Valverde and 59 ahead of Uran. Quintana slipped to eleventh place, more than three minutes behind.
Dominik Nerz (BMC) showed a very appealing performance today and finished 19th today.
