Romero by a whisker; Frigo moves into lead

by Gabriella Ekstrom

Dario Frigo (Fassa Bortolo) took over the leader's jersey when he finished 28 seconds in front of Paolo Savoldelli (Saeco) in the individual time trial stage today.

However, Frigo was not the winner of the stage. The early leader was Andrei Teteriouk (Mercury) who clocked 31.37 over the extremely windy course. Neither Andreas Klöden (Telekom) or Bradley McGee (FDJ) could match Teteriouk's strong ride in the second half of the stage. Festina's David Plaza had an impressive time at the half mark time check, but he was four seconds late of Frigo's 14.03. Frigo looked like a certain winner, especially when it was clear that race leader Paolo Savoldelli was 22 seconds late at the time check. But just like Teteriouk, Plaza rode stronger in the second half than in the first, and clocked AN impressive 31.20 over the line.

Frigo's main ambition was to take over the leader's jersey, and not to win the stage, but some disappointment was inevitable when he lost the stage to Plaza BY just seven tenths of a second. Seven seconds was all Frigo needed to take over the lead, and Savoldelli lost more than that, so Frigo switches his green points jersey to the green leader's jersey in tomorrow's stage from Saint Aubin to Nendaz.
