PUTTINI Felice SUI RMY 1 Brief Swiss rider Laurent Dufaux (Festina) won the 52nd edition of the Tour of Romandie on Sunda afternoon after finishing safely in the final stage 5 between Lausanne and Geneva under a warm sun. The stage was won by the French rider Christophe Agnolutto (Casino). Laurent Dufaux is now in the record books for the Tour of Romandie as being the first rider to wear the green leader's jersey from the start to the finish. In the final stage, it was Christophe Agnolutto who combatted the sprint of the Swiss rider Daniel Schnider. The two men were in a group of 5 who formed after 18 kms. Responding to an attack by Schnider, 1.5 kms from the line, Agnolutto gave his Casino team the 34th victory for the season to date. They have been the dominant team in 1998. In winning his first major Tour, Laurent Dufaux gave credit and thanks to his teammate Alex Zulle, for his efforts. "Alex sacrificed his own chanced at defending his leader's jersey from last year. I will not forget it." a relieved Dufaux sad when he realised the significance of this win. The Tour of Romandy did plenty to reaasure Zulle about his form, a week before his debut in the Giro d'Italia. "I have not perhaps top condition yet. But I am on plan psychologically. I have certainly achieved a certain ascendancy over Tonkov, Gotti and Leblanc." |
