Stage 5 - May 5: Lausanne-Lausanne ITT, 18.3 km
Zülle takes two but Frigo wins by 47 seconds

A relieved and happy Alex Zülle (Team Coast) claimed his second successive stage victory in the Tour de Romandie, winning the final 18.3 kilometre time trial in Lausanne and moving up to second overall in the general classification. Zülle was the only rider who managed to go under 25 minutes for the technical and hilly circuit, averaging 43.9 km/h to beat Dario Frigo by 24 seconds, and early leader David Millar by 40.
The time trial, which thankfully was conducted in dry weather, did change things at the top of overall standings. Although Frigo had no problems in retaining his lead, emerging as the overall winner by 47 seconds, Zülle's performance lifted him from 13th to 2nd on GC, and Cadel Evans' 5th place moved him into 3rd overall, at 51 seconds. For the Swiss, Zülle's two stage wins were very popular, and who knows what would have happened had he not lost 1'13 on stage 1 due to a crash. But that's racing.
Today's concluding stage was by no means a big gear cruncher's course. It started and finished outside Lausanne's Olympic Stadium (608m) before dropping down to 376m and featuring several climbs, some of which were steep and cobbled. In addition, the riders switched between the flat, wide main roads to narrow, twisty roads on a number of occasions.
After Levi Leipheimer (Rabobank) and Laszlo Bodrogi (Mapei) had posted some solid sub 26 minute times, British 'comeback kid' David Millar (Cofidis) stormed over the parcours to finish in 25'40, a time that was to land him on the podium for the day. As Millar finished, Alex Zülle started, determined to make another good impression in the Tour de Romandie and pick up a few places on GC. At the first time check, Zülle was 10 seconds up on Millar, which he increased to 30 at the second time check and an impressive 40 seconds at the finish.
While not exactly the smoothest of time trialists, Zülle knows how and when to hurt, and he was rewarded with the fastest time today. Meanwhile on the parcours, the final five riders were vying to see who would finish where on GC. Mapei's Cadel Evans certainly had a good ride, surprising a few by finishing just 5 seconds behind Millar for an eventual 5th place. The course, with its tough cobbled climbs certainly suited the ex-MTB pro and no doubt we'll hear Evans' own description of his ride.
Then there was Dario Frigo, who had to finish within 1'11 of danger man Alex Zülle in order to claim the overall win. The Tacconi rider flew over the first part of the course, showing excellent technique around the corners to be within five seconds of Zülle at the first time check. He started to suffer over the next part, but kept his head and limited the damage to just 24 seconds by the end.
That gave Frigo second in the TT and first overall, showing that he is back to his best after his fall from grace during last year's Giro d'Italia, where he admitted to possession of forbidden products and was sacked by his team. Frigo was one of the few riders to be suspended as a result of the 'Giro blitz', but trained hard in the interim and came back to competition in Paris-Nice at nearly the level he left off. Strangely enough, he will now be considered one of the favourites for the Giro, that starts next weekend in Groningen.
