Tour de France 2018 stage 20 individual time trial start times
Start times for every rider on stage 20 of the 2018 Tour de France
Geraint Thomas in the opening time trial of the 2017 Tour de France
The penultimate stage of the 2018 Tour de France sees the 145 riders remaining in the race face a 31km individual time trial on stage 20 between Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle and Espelette.
The course is a hilly one, with barely a kilometre of flat road as the profile constantly rises and falls, but the crucial point on the day will be the Col de Pinodieta.
This climb may be short at just 900m in length, but has an average gradient of more than 10 per cent and hits 20 per cent for a short section near the base.
Riders will reach the top of this climb with just three kilometres to the finish in Espelette, which is followed by a fast but occasionally technical descent to the line.
Holding an "advantage" of nearly 20 minutes in his position as the lanterne route at the bottom of the general classification, Lawson Craddock (EF Education First-Drapac) will be the first man down the start ramp at midday local time (11am BST).

However it will be a few hours until we get to the business end of affairs, with Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha-Alpecin) being the first of the top 10 to set off at 16:11 with the rest of the riders at the top of the general classification setting off at two minute intervals.

Chris Froome (Team Sky) will be starting at 16:23 (15:23 BST) and looking to make up a 13-second deficit to Primoz Roglic (LottoNL-Jumbo) in order to finish on the podium in Paris.
Meanwhile Roglic will be face the tough task of making up a 19-second gap to world time trial champion Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb).
The final man to start stage 20's individual time trial will be the yellow jersey of Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) who has a lead of 2-05 over Dumoulin going into the penultimate day of racing.
Thomas will start his time trial effort at 16:29 local time (15:29 BST) and should be confident of crossing the line with at least some of that lead intact to all but confirm himself as the winner of the 2018 Tour de France.
