55th Tour de Romandie - 2.HCSwitzerland, May 2-7, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 2 - May 4: Montreux - La Chaux de Fonds, 162.1 kmSaeco triple espresso
The stage saw an attack by two dangerous riders from Fassa Bortolo, Dimitri Konyshev and Mateo Tossatto who gained up to 55 seconds before being pulled back through the efforts of Saeco. Then, on a small climb close to the finish, Dufaux, Savoldelli, Casagrande, Ledanois, Belli (Fassa), Tonkov (Mapei) and Beloki (Festina) managed to obtain a slight gap to the peloton, which they maintained until the finish. On the finishing straight, Dufaux was far too strong for Casagrande as he took the win and the overall lead in the points competition. Saeco also leads the teams competition, while Kelme's Felix Cardenas took the first mountain jersey today. Pre race favourite, Laurent Jalabert (ONCE) dropped completely out of contention today, finishing 2.07 behind Dufaux. Paolo Savoldelli increased his lead on the GC over ONCE's Inigo Cuesta to 17 seconds after the latter finished 41st, in the main group.
