 The winning time was set early on in the stage , by Cervélo TestTeam rider and reigning Lithuanian national time trial champion Ignatas Konovalovas . Konovalovas , the 79th man to leave the starthouse , was one of the last riders to take the course before it started to rain . Garmin 's Bradley Wiggins started his ride not long after , and though he had the best time at the second and third intermediate time checks , he was slowed by the rain he encountered on the last part of the course as well as a stopped Bbox Bouygues Telecom team car attending to Matthieu Sprick , who had crashed .
