Spaniard Carlos Sastre is heading towards his first Tour de France win after his rivals failed to gain ground in Saturday's key 53km time-trial.

Sastre led by 84 seconds going into the stage but main rival Cadel Evans could only close the gap to 64 seconds with just Sunday's final stage remaining.

Bernhard Kohl was third while Stefan Schumacher won the stage by 21 seconds and Britain's David Millar was fifth.
