Launched as a 40 Manuel Quinziato presented first on a good target time that existed up to the time trial specialists should have. His leadership on the two split time measurement points he could even defend until all riders passed these points. The time Quinziatos in the target had on hand, to Levi Leipheimer 's turn. This had begun behaving, but in the end he had a head start on Quinziato of over half a minute. Of the other favorites for the overall victory no one could jeopardize Leipheimer.
