	Tour de France (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Because the time trial is a test of individual skill, riders are not supposed to interact during the stage.
		There is a short time trial of up to 15 km, called the prologue, before the first stage, which determines who will wear the yellow jersey for the first stage and serves to avoid all the riders being bunched together in the overall classification.
		In 2004 time trial World Champion David Millar was banned from the Tour because he was taken in for questioning by French police following up their discovery of banned drugs at the offices of Cofidis, his team.

	INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIAL FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		At the professional level, time trials (TTs) are frequently accompanied by motorcycles, some carrying video equipment or race officials, and riders may be followed by a team car carrying coaches and spare parts, but the cyclists are not permitted to draft behind the vehicles.
		Individual time trials are often used as stages in stage races such as the Grand Tours; these vary from short prologue time trials over just a few kilometres, to longer distance events over flat or rolling courses, to timed climbs up mountain roads.
		The first UK individual time trial on public roads is reputed to have been held on 5_October 1895 over a 50-miles course just north of London, organised by Frederick_Thomas_Bidlake.

	Individual time trial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		An Individual Time Trial (ITT) is a road-based bicycle race in which cyclists race alone against the clock (in French: contre la montre - literally "against the watch").
		The starting sequence is usually based on the finishing times in preceding races (or preceding stages in the case of a multi-stage race) in reverse order of the competitors placing (with the highest ranked cyclist starting last).
		For many years in the UK, time trials were the main road-based cycling competitions ('massed start' events only gained grudging approval after the Second World War).

	Time trial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In many racing sports an athlete (or occasionally a team of athletes) will compete in a time trial against the clock to secure the fastest time.
		In cycling, for example, a time trial (TT) can be a single track cycling event, or an individual or team time trial on the road, and either or both of the latter may form components of multi-day stage races.
		A similar race against the clock or time attack is often part of racing video games.

	Course Analysis
		Under the old rules, a rider lost as much time on his individual GC as his team lost in the team time trial.
		This in conjunction with the fact that Lance has lost mountain time trials in the past should tell you that this stage along with the rule change for the team time trial were obviously made to give Lance's competition a better chance against him.
		This stage will be very significant because it will be the only flat individual time trial this year and the only chance for the top GC riders who are very good time trialists to put away the GC riders who are primarily climbers.

		A very short individual time trial, generally under 6.2 miles (10 km) in length, held at the start of stage race events to determine the initial race leader.
		Since the prologue is short the time gaps between riders is usually small, so the rider who holds the jersey first may not hold it for long.
		In the Tour de France the time of the fifth rider for a team is used.

	2004 Tour de France: Chris Carmichael's Journal
		We never really expected the Alpe d'Huez time trial to play a critical role in determining the winner of the 2004 Tour de France, and I believe today's results showed we were correct.
		Though he spent a lot of time and effort working on an aerodynamic setup for today's time trial, he ended up removing the clip-on bars from his bike before the stage.
		With a very long, rolling individual time trial waiting for him on Saturday, Basso should be worried about the two men directly behind him in the overall classification.

	Gazzetta dello Sport - Giro d'Italia - stage 13 - TRIESTE (individual time trial)
		The time trial event takes on the 'altopiano carsico' - a rough karstic upland zone with many sinks, riffs and caverns - overlooking Trieste itself.
		The distance is ideal for time trials since the results may be considered objective.
		However important the event is in itself, as a sporting occasion, the return to Trieste of the Giro d'Italia also coincides with the 50th anniversary of the final reunification (1954) of the city with Italy after the dramatic events of World War II.

		The 2004 Tour de France will begin here Saturday — the 13th time it has begun outside of France — with a 3.7-mile prologue individual time trial, the first steps in a three-week odyssey that could prove to be one of the toughest tests in the race's 101 years.
		The first individual time trial (Stage 16) is a 9.5-mile run up the dreaded L'Alpe d'Huez; the second (Stage 19) is a 34-mile twisting roller coaster on the penultimate stage.
		The contending teams must be careful about winning the battle but losing the race: expending so much energy on Stage 17 that they become vulnerable on Stage 18 and must dig deeper into their well of reserves to keep their leaders in contention for the final time trial on Stage 19.
