Stage 20 of this year's Tour de France was the race's only time trial (where the riders start 30 seconds apart and race only against the clock). The fastest rider to finish the hilly 54 kilometer course was Tony Martin of Germany. Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands finished in second, and Jan Barta of the Czech Republic was the third place finisher.
Vicenzo Nibali of Italy sealed his overall first place finish in this year's Tour by placing fourth in the stage 20 time trial -- ahead of all his closest competitors. His team should be able to easily protect his lead on the ride into Paris in stage 21 (the final stage). Here are the current standings:
