MARSEILLE, France (AP) The Latest on the Tour de France time trial in Marseille (all times local):

6 p.m.

Looking pale and utterly exhausted, French rider Romain Bardet said he woke up feeling ill before the time trial where he managed to stay on the Tour de France podium by the narrowest margin.

Bardet will finish the Tour in third place, just one second ahead of Mikel Landa of Spain. Bardet had been second overall before the clock race, with an advantage of more than one minute over Landa. But the French rider melted in the heat on the twisting and technical time-trial course.
