Time Trial
Some years, an individual time trial appears midway through raceweek, this is a two-man team time trial, where teams usually leave at timed intervals. Like the prologue, it’s an all out effort. The distance varies but typically is around 30 km, which is regarded by the main field, who are not contending for overall victory, as an ‘easy’ day.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or trial:
“So we may never
Again feel fully confident of the stratagem that bore us
And lived on a certain time after that. And it went away
Little by little, as most things do. To profit
By this mainstream is today’s chore and adventure.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“I have proved by actual trial that a letter, that takes an hour to write, takes only about 3 minutes to read!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
