CHARTRES, France — A brief look at Saturday’s 19th stage of the 99th Tour de France:

Stage: A 33-mile time trial from Bonneval to Chartres won by Bradley Wiggins. The 32-year-old former Olympic track champion asserted his authority on the Tour, beating his Sky teammate Christopher Froome by 1 minute, 16 seconds. Luis Leon Sanchez of Spain was third, 1:50 back.

Yellow Jersey: Wiggins increased his overall lead over Froome to 3:21 and is poised to become the first British champion after Sunday’s largely ceremonial ride onto the Champs-Elysees in Paris for the finale of the three-week race. Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali sits in third place, 6:19 behind.

Horner watch: Bend’s Chris Horner, riding for RadioShack-Nissan, finished in 44th place on Saturday. Horner is in 13th place overall, 19:55 behind Wiggins heading to today’s final stage.

Stat of the day: 52 — Cadel Evans’ placing in the time trial, 5:54 behind Wiggins. The defending champion dropped to seventh overall, 15:51 off the pace.

Today’s stage: The 20th and final stage takes the peloton from Rambouillet to Paris on a 74-mile trek. Mark Cavendish will try to win the sprint on the Champs-Elysees for a fourth consecutive time with the help of the Sky team.
