65th Tour de Suisse - 2.HCSwitzerland, June 19 - 28, 2001Main page Live report Results Intermediate time splits Previous stage Stage 8 - June 26: Sion - Crans Montana ITT, 25.1 kmArmstrong's test proves fruitfulBy Jeff Jones
Again not entirely unexpectedly, Lance Armstrong has shown his good form during the Tour de Suisse by winning the crucial stage 8 mountain time trial from Sion to Crans Montana. Averaging 31.8 km/h for the 25.1 kilometre test, Armstrong beat Lampre's Gilberto Simoni by 1:25.83 and US Postal teammate Tyler Hamilton by 1:26.17, giving him back the overall golden leader's jersey with two days to go. Simoni remained in second overall, but he is now 1:01 behind Armstrong. In fairly warm 30+ degrees Celsius conditions, the remaining 113 riders set off for 10 kilometres of flat riding, followed by 15 kilometres of tough climbing at an average of 6.67% to Crans Montana (1509 m). Only Servais Knaven (Domo-Farm Frites) did not start, with the Dutch national championships this weekend as the likely reason. Early leader was Belgian Marc Wauters (Rabobank) who posted a time of 52'05, which stood until Steve Zampieri (Post Swiss) rode in with an excellent 50'05. This stood until the top riders started, with Tyler Hamilton (USPS, 22nd on GC) obliterating Zampieri's time at all the intermediate checks, to eventually post a 48'45, the best of the day. Stefano Garzelli (Mapei) seemed to have good legs after yesterday, coming in just under 50 minutes to eventually finish 8th. But all eyes were on the favourites Armstrong, Simoni, Belli, Totschnig, Vinokourov and Atienza. Both Atienza and Totschnig were close to Hamilton at both the intermediate checks, but could not surpass the American by the finish. Vinokourov ended as 6th in a time of 49'21 and moved up to 5th on GC after Swiss favourite Beat Zberg (Rabobank) limited his losses in the TT to hold 4th overall.
Of the top three, Armstrong was clearly going the strongest. He rode the first 9 kilometres in 10'10, marginally slower than Hamilton, then proceeded to average 26 km/h for the next 15 kilometres on the climb to finish with 47:18.84. Simoni was the next best, just managing to beat Hamilton for second place, while Belli faded to finish 5th in the TT and move down to third overall. After the time trial, Armstrong commented that today was "different. We never do any uphill time trials. The last one I did was two years ago in the Dauphine Libere (1999), and before that I think in the Tour de Suisse 1995. It's a rare discipline. It's the main reason why I came here this year, to practice for the Tour de France." "We looked at the course yesterday after the finish and we drove over the course. I had it in my mind last night. I rode half the climb this morning, and did the other half in the team car. So it wasn't completely new, but if you compare it with Chamrousse (in the Tour), I've ridden that 6 or 7 times. It makes a difference." Any doubts that Armstrong was a little flaky on the hills after he lost time on stage 5 were quelled today, although he admitted that "I haven't felt that great in the Tour de Suisse up until today. I'd say my form is not there yet, but it's right on time. I prefer it to be where it is now rather than late." Can he hold the jersey? "It's a bike race, and anything can happen. The good news is that we have the jersey, and even better news is that we have a great team. We have a super team and a motivated team and that's the way you win bike races."
