The ultimate nightmare; Schleck gets pushed off the podium by Levi in the
final TT. The horror, the horror. Had to toss in Levi for the absurdity.

They are forcasting a median time of 64 minutes for this stage.

Is it particularly difficult?

That does seem a trifle slow for around 40K, no ?

I don't sell Sominex, so no benefit.

I see nothing about the route that would make it difficult. It's not
technical, it's not hilly. Are there consistent (predictable) headwinds?

For 40k, yes. but the stage 19 TT is 52km long.

Right. I just checked

But for some dumb reason I'd thought the distance was around 40Km and
the Gironde being pretty flat I wondered at the time anticipated

across the carriageway, following drivers stopped to scoop them up.

Well that prediction's as shredded as Lance's (and Cadel's) jersey. :-)
