Wiggins upstaged by Vinokourov

Kazakhstan’s Alexandre Vinokourov fought his way back into the Tour de France top 10 with an impressive ride to win today’s 13th stage, a time-trial in Albi.

On a wet day, Britain’s Bradley Wiggins had led the way for much of the trial, but the Cofidis rider was eventually soundly beaten by Vinokourov, who clocked the best times at every intermediate checkpoint to win his first stage of the Tour with a time of one hour, six minutes and 34 seconds.
