Success for Jeker
Hamilton on track for second TdR win
By Jeff Jones

35 year old Swiss rider Fabian Jeker (Saunier Duval) realised a long held ambition today by finally winning a stage of the Tour de Romandie. At the end of a tough stage from Sion - Sion, Jeker outsprinted a five man leading group to take the win ahead of Dario Cioni (Fassa Bortolo) and Tadej Valjavec (Phonak). In fourth place was Tyler Hamilton (Phonak), who took over the leader's jersey from his teammate Alexandre Moos, who was dropped on the last climb. With a 20 km time trial to finish off tomorrow, Hamilton looks set to successfully defend his 2003 Tour de Romandie title.
How it unfolded
Although today's stage was quite short at only 127.7 km, the three Cat. 1 climbs more than made up for the lack of distance and it was once again an elimination race. The first attack came from Roger Beuchat (Vini Caldirola) after only 3 km, and he managed to get a 33 second lead before Sven Montgomery (Gerolsteiner) chased him down after 17 km, continuing solo up the day's first climb. Montgomery was joined by Stefano Garzelli (Vini Caldirola), eager for another pre-Giro hit out, while behind them was a group with Oscar Camenzind (Phonak), Ronny Scholz (Gerolsteiner), Steve Zampieri (Vini Caldirola), Manuel Calvente (CSC), Roberto Laiseka and Alberto Lopez de Munain (Euskaltel), Julian Sanchez (Fassa Bortolo), Volodimir Duma (Landbouwkrediet), Mickaël Buffaz (RAGT), Rubens Bertogliati and Joaquin Rodriguez (Saunier Duval).
The two led over the top of the climb by 52 seconds, with Montgomery taking the points ahead of Garzelli. After the descent, there was a regrouping with 12 men joining each other at the front: Montgomery, Garzelli, Zampieri, Lopez de Munain, Calvente, Duma, Totschnig (Gerolsteiner), Belli (Lampre), Szmyd (Saeco), Ardila (Chocolade Jacques) and Zaugg (Saunier Duval). On the second climb, to Veysonnaz, Zampieri and Garzelli did most of the tempo making, keeping the Phonak-led peloton at 1'00,. where Camenzind was doing a lot of work.
At the top of the second climb, Zampieri crossed first in front of Montgomery and Calvente, with the peloton now at 1'53. Zampieri had started the day in 12th position on GC at 1'53, and became the GC leader on the road for a short time.

Phonak clicked into top gear before the last climb, the 12 km/8.1% ascension of Crans Montana, bringing the 11 leaders back to a manageable 1'24. In front, it was now Garzelli doing most of the tempo work on the climb, gradually thinning out the break but also losing time to the peloton. After 4 km of climbing, the gap was down to 50 seconds, prompting an attack by Leonardo Piepoli (Saunier Duval), who was countered by his teammate Fabian Jeker. Jeker closed the gap to the remaining leaders within a kilometre, and a new front group formed.
Jeker joined his teammate Zaugg, Montgomery, Garzelli, Zampieri, Lopez de Munain, Szmyd and Totschnig, while Hamilton, Moos, Valjavec, Basso and Cioni closed the gap. Zaugg then buried himself for Jeker and Piepoli, reducing the lead group to seven riders before he dropped off the pace. His efforts put race leader Alexandre Moos in difficulty, and the winner of yesterday's stage was forced to let go with 3 km of climbing left.
There were now just Jeker, Piepoli, Hamilton and Valjavec remaining, with Cioni and Moos chasing at varying intervals. At the top of the climb, the four leaders had 30 seconds on Cioni and over a minute on Moos, who didn't have the legs to close the gap on the descent, despite some help from Francesco Mancebo (Illes Baleares). Cioni was more fortunate, and the tall Fassa Bortolo rider joined the leading quartet with 21 km to go.
Hamilton took the time bonus sprint just after the top of the climb ahead of Jeker and Valjavec, and from then on the group stuck together until the finish. Valjavec tried a few attacks with 3 km to go, but each time he was closely marked. As they rounded the last corner with 500m to go, Valjavec was in front ahead of Piepoli, Hamilton, Cioni and Jeker. The sprint was uphill and Valjavec led out with 300m to go, but just as Hamilton started to come round, he was overtaken by Cioni, before Jeker found a gap between the middle and shot through for the stage win. Hamilton ended as fourth, but should still have enough time in hand to hold the others off in tomorrow's time trial in Lausanne.
