Today is a huge day in the Tour de France, the second last day of the Tour, the time-trial also known as the race of truth.   I am a huge fan of the Tour watching the race untl very late into the night here in Sydney Australia and have been watching and following the race for many years.

Australian Cadel Evans is going for Yellow in the today's time trial in the Tour dr France

There is huge interest in the Tour this year in Australia with Cadel Evans sitting in fouth place only 1 min 34 secs behind the race leader Carlos Sastre, however Evens is by far the superior rider at the time trial.    The key quesion in will Evans be able to make up the 1 min 34 sec gap on Sastre.  There is no doubt that Evans will beat Satre in the race of truth against the clock but is he close enough to race into the Yellow jersey.  It will be nail bitting stuff.  Evans will ride at after midnight tonught and I will be watching.
