Tour De France 2012 Stage 19 Results: Winner, Leaderboard and Highlights

British cyclist Bradley Wiggins—master of the time trials—dominated Stage 19 of the 2012 Tour de France, and there's little doubt that he'll be the winner of this year's grueling race.

Wiggins posted a time of 1:04.13, more than a minute faster than any other cyclist. His stellar time gives him a comfortable lead of more than three minutes heading into Stage 20, the final stage of the Tour de France.

BBC's Simon Brotherton said after the race:

"

Bradley Wiggins says what gave him perspective was that it's only sport, not life or death. But "bloody hell I've just won the Tour"!!

Well, he's not quite won just yet, as Stage 20 still looms on the horizon. But, barring a disaster, Wiggins will cruise to victory in the final stage—the shortest road stage of the event at 120 kilometers, according to LeTour.fr.

According to BBC's live blog of the event, Team Sky head coach Dave Brailsford talked about Wiggins:

"

"This shows why he is the leader of our team today. He smashed it. We can start thinking about winning this race now, barring accidents. A lot of people laughed when we said we could win this race in five years with a clean British rider. Today is all about Bradley and his achievement."

"

I couldn't have said that better myself.
