Stage Details:
Tonight is Stage 9, Arc-et-Senans > Besançon, 41.5 km (ITT)
It was natural to choose the «the City of time» to host a time-trail of which the 38 km could carry a lot of weight at the end of the race. Besançon and its majestic citadel are linked to Arc-et-Senans, which is also a listed Unesco World Heritage site. The peloton’s best flat racers will try to minimize their time in a prestigious setting. — Christian Prudhomme’s Analysis

* Tour de France round table podcast – Stage 9 wrap [SBS Cycling Central]
Cadel Evans’s Tour de France defence suffered its first major setback in the exacting stage 9 time trial between Arc-et-Senans and Besançon, and the BMC leader enters the first rest day of the Tour pondering how to make up the 1:53 that now separates him from the yellow jersey of Bradley Wiggins (Sky).
On a disappointing day for the Australian, the early appearances were deceptively bright. Evans was noticeably smooth in the opening kilometres, and with many early finishers describing a rather more technical course than previously expected, it seemed as though he would limit his losses to Wiggins.
