A time trial is now all that stands between Geraint Thomas and victory in the Tour de France.

Thomas’ time-trialling has come a long way from the days when he used to ride on the back of a tandem with Luke Rowe’s dad in Wales, but he still has work to do to hold off the world champion against the clock, Tom Dumoulin.
Here, Press Association Sport breaks down their head-to-head record as Thomas looks to defend a lead of two minutes and five seconds.
