56th Tour de Romandie - 2.HCSwitzerland, April 30-May 5, 2002Stage index Results Next stage Prologue - April 30: Genève ITT, 3.2 kmVerbrugghe beats Phonak duoBelgian Rik Verbrugghe (Lotto) is the first leader of the 56th Tour de Romandie, after winning the 3.2 kilometre prologue time trial in Geneva this afternoon. Verbrugghe, who is something of a prologue specialist, finished just 1.45 seconds in front of Phonak's Alexandre Moos, whose teammate Martin Elmiger was third at 2.23 seconds. Moos was the race's early leader for some time, and gave the Swiss some hope of a local victory. However that was dashed when Verbrugghe clocked 4.13.48 over the technical 3.2 kilometre parcours, averaging 45.45 km/h to set the new best time. "I thought that this prologue was too short and too technical for me," said Verbrugghe, who is using the Tour de Romandie to prepare for the Giro d'Italia. "The Tour de Romandie is a prestigious race. You cannot deny that! My team has the means to control the race. From now on, the question is knowing how I will fare on Saturday on the mountain top finish." Last year's Romandie winner Dario Frigo (Tacconi) finished 9th, followed by David Millar (Cofidis) in 10th, who is starting his season late due to suffering from glandular fever. Fassa Bortolo's Volodomir Gustov was not allowed to start, due to a too high a hematocrit level. Tomorrow's first stage will take the riders 187 km between Genèva-Malleray and Bévilard.
