UPDATE:
Contador beats Schleck by 32 seconds.
He will be crowned the victor in the Tour de France for the third time on Sunday.
Third time check: 17 seconds advantage for Contador, 25 seconds overall lead. Contador really pushing himself, and it is paying off, but the race is so much closer than expected.
Second Time Check: Contador gains twelve seconds, to lead the Tour by 14 seconds.
Denis Menchov has moved into third, Jurgen van den Broek might pass him too.
At the firsrt time-check, Alberto Contador had lost six seconds to Andy Schleck. An upset could be on the way!
In the second closest finish in history, Saxo Bank’s Andy Schleck trails Astana’s Alberto Contador by a mere eight seconds going into the final competitive stage of the 201 Tour de France: the Stage 19 Individual Time Trial.
Stage 19 is a simple 52-km time trial. The long, flat course suits pure time trialists. With no hills at all, this race suits the fastest—Fabian Cancellara, Tony Martin, David Millar—Alberto Contador.
