Stage 1, Individual Time Trial in Romanshorn, 7.2 kms
|
Unheralded Swiss Oskar Camenzind took advantage of an early start number
and dry conditions to win the first stage time trial of the Tour of Switzerland
on Tuesday.
Under threatening skies, Camenzind thundered around the 7.2-km layout in eight minutes 57.47 seconds, finishing three seconds clear of the Netherland's Leon Van Bon and five seconds in front of Italy's Roberto Petito. Before the top time trialers had a chance to take to the course, rain had begun to fall, making the roads slick and treacherous. Several riders, including Tour de France champion Bjarne Riis, narrowly avoided crashes. Tony Rominger of Switzerland, who will attempt to reclaim his hour world record from Britain's Chris Boardman later this year, was one of those caught in the downpour, finishing 37 seconds behind the winner. Riis, who is using the event as part of his preparation for the Tour de France, was 54 seconds adrift. Wednesday's second stage will be a 193-km ride from Romanshorn to Basle.
