Geraint Thomas is third in the 20th Tour Tour, the time trial of more than 31 km in Espelette, behind the victories of Tom Dumoulin and Chris Froome, and is preparing to win his first overall victory.

With third place in the time trial from the second to the last day, Geraint Thomas also jumped the last hurdle on the road to general victory at the 105th highly sovereign Tour de France. Welshman, 32, lost only 14 seconds on the 31 km Saint-Pee-sur-Nivelle to Espelette against Dutchman Tom Dumoulin
Thomas is in the overall standings before the last day, while the leader stops is attacked with 1:51 minutes ahead of Dumoulin. The four-time Tour winner Chris Froome improved on the second day – a second behind Dumoulin – to the detriment of Slovenia's Primoz Roglic, still third overall. Thus, the four-time winner of the Tour de France from the UK has since early 2013 completed all three-week tours that he also finished in the top 3. The Froome gap with his compatriot before the overall victory is 2:24 minutes. Roglic lost in 3:22 minutes in fourth
Küng only twelfth in the time trial
Stefan Küng could not intervene as hoped in the fight for the victory of the day. Thurgauer, 24, even missed the top 10 and was finally ranked 12th. On Dumoulin's best time, he lost 1:26 minutes.
On hold is still the 21st and final round on Sunday. This leads on 116 km from Houilles to Paris, where it will probably arrive on the Champs-Elysées until the massive sprint. The final is scheduled around 19:30
