55th Tour de Romandie - 2.HCSwitzerland, May 2-7, 2000Main Page Previous stageStage 3b - May 5: Orbe - Time Trial, 24.2 kmFestina's time comesFestina enjoyed a major success in the afternoon 24.2 kilometre time trial around Orbe, with their rider Joseba Beloki overcoming the favourite and current leader, Paolo Savoldelli to win the stage by nearly 30 seconds. Although Savodelli was still second, he was forced to give up his leader's jersey to Beloki who rode a great race to average nearly 49.5 km/h. In third was ONCE's Iñigo Cuesta who also kept his third position overall, while other notable rides came from Dufaux, Boscardin, McRae and White. Laurent Jalabert even nosed his way into the top 10 finishing 9th, over a minute behind Beloki. There was no excuses about the weather this time, as the top GC riders started together. Bruno Boscardin (Post Swiss) had set a good early mark of 30'08" before the big guns headed off around 17:30. Boscardin's time was bettered first by Dufaux (29'57"), followed by Beloki, Cuesta, and finally Savoldelli, although the latter could not approach Beloki's time. Beloki, from Vitoria in Spain's Basque Country will start in tomorrow's mountain-top finish stage with a 10 second advantage over Savoldelli. He said of his ride on the 'sporting' course (hilly, twisty) "For the first 2.5 kilometres I went as hard as I could as I had studied the course and knew that's where you had to give your all." "Tomorrow's stage will be tough as it's a mountain-top finish and a ten second lead is not much." Festina are also the official timekeepers of the race and they were certainly happy to see their guy come in number one.
