A pan flat 32.5km time trial in the Critérium du Dauphiné brought out a resurgent world champion, Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) who blasted around the course 36’55 – 47 seconds faster than surprise runner-up Rohan Dennis of Garmin-Sharp.

It was one of the final tech tune-ups available to some of the Tour de France favourites such as Chris Froome (Sky), who came third on bike sponsor Pinarello’s new flagship TT bike, the Bolide .
