The time trial champion of Sweden, Tobias Ludvigsson (FDJ) was posting the best times all through the course time checks. And he carried that pace across the finish line after 40.2 kilometers of all out effort. With the big names on the general classification, it was doubtful that his time would be enough to when the stage, but he certainly honored the flag of his country across is back. When all was said and done his time was good for a sixth place tie with none other than Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo).
