Tomorrow's finale in Paris will be a day for the sprinters and a victory lap for Vincenzo Nibali as the Italian on Team Astana added to his impressive overall lead with a fourth place finish in today's individual time trial--the only one in this year's Tour de France. To no one's surprise, German TT specialist took the win, throwing down impressive power from the start in Bergerac to the finish line in Périgueux 54k away. Here's how the day unfolded in front of superphotog Graham Watson's camera lens. See stage 20 results here.
