Using his unconventional time trial bar angle, Landis beat several of the world's best testers to win the stage by 26 seconds over CSC's David Zabriskie, with Bobby Julich (CSC) third at 35 seconds. Overnight leader George Hincapie (Discovery) lost nearly a minute to finish fourth, while prologue winner Levi Leipheimer was 1'16 back in ninth.
