Tour de Romandie 2015

Tour de Romandie 2015: Martin wins ITT, Zakarin takes GC

It all boils down to the ITT in Lausanne. Tony Martin is strongest in his favourite discipline, with Simon Spilak second and Ilnur Zakarin third. This means Zakarin wins the overall with Spilak runner-up. Chris Froome completes the podium after a disappointing performance in the time trial. That said, he outperforms both his Tour de France rivals Quintana and Nibali.

Tour de Romandie 2015: Pinot takes Queen Stage, Zakarin leader

Stage 5 is the Queen Stage in which riders face four 1st category cols. It all boils down to a battle at the last climb with Pinot attacking and soloing to victory. Zakarin finishes second and is the new leader. By the way, the first Froome-Quintana-Nibali showdown of the season is lost by the latter, while the Froome-Quintana duel is undecided. As yet.

En route to Fribourg the riders crest three cols and it's with 25 kilometres left young Stefan Küng leaves the front group to solo to victory. His fellow escapees Jan Bakelants and Bert-Jan Lindeman are second and third. Küng's compatriot Michael Albasini retains the overall lead.

After a hilly stage the last climb is crested with 25 km's left. A long drop to the finish line and then the sprint is won by Michael Albasini. Not only his second win in a row, as he won three stages in 2014 this makes the Swiss a five time stage-winner in the last nine stages in Romandie.
