Race Recap
Tony Martin showed that he has recovered from injuries suffered earlier in the Tour de France, winning the stage 11 time trial. The reigning World time trial champion crossed the finish line at the world-famous Mount-Saint-Michel in a time of 36:29. Second on the 33km course was yellow jersey Chris Froome (Sky), a mere 12 seconds down, with Thomas De Gendt (Vacansoleil-DCM) a surprising third at 1:01.\nChris Froome (Sky) not only easily maintained his overall lead but increased it. He now leads Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) in second place by 3:25 and Bauke Mollema in third at 3:37.\nThe time trial had a dramatic ending, as Froome, the last rider to take the course, broke Martin's times at both intermediate time checks. The German looked on nervously, but Froome lost over 14 seconds on the closing 11km of the course.\nMartin finished the stage in obvious pain, the wounds on his body from that stage 1 crash seeping through the white shorts of his world champion's kit.\nThe stage was marred by an early incident, when a bystander threw a cup of urine on Omega Pharma-QuickStep sprinter Mark Cavendish. His team confirmed it, while the Manxman, perhaps wisely, made no comment.\n
