Astana rider Contador finished three seconds faster than second-placed Fabian Cancellara in a reversal of the positions from the time trial on day one of the Tour, the Spaniard doing the 40.5 kilometres trek around Lake Annecy in 48 minutes and 30 seconds.
Armstrong only came 16th but still displaces Frank Schleck in third place in the general classification while Andy Schleck stays second overall, despite coming 21st in today's stage.
Bradley Wiggins came home sixth in the time trial, a place behind fellow Britain David Millar, to climb from sixth to fourth in the standings.
Wiggins leapfrogs Frank Schleck and Andreas Kloden, with just three days left in the Tour.
