The final TT of the 2012 Tour

Not much changed in the final TT of the 2012 Tour De France, but there were still some very impressive displays of time trialing prowess. Eric Wynn was there to cover it.

Bradley Wiggins put on an incredible show as the last rider leaving the start gate and left no doubt that he is indeed a deserving winner, even though the Tour is not over until tomorrow. Sky teammate Chris Froome had the second best time and thus easily held on to his second place overall, but most of us really want to see what he can do next year. Vincenzo Nibali also easily defended his third place, but there was much more going on.
