Kreuziger climbs to the top
|
Liquigas' Roman Kreuziger pulled into the overall lead of the Tour de Romandie with in a dominant performance on the mountainous stage to Sainte-Croix. The Czech rider was part of a four-man group which escaped from a greatly reduced peloton on the final climb. He powered away from Estonian Rein Taaramae (Cofidis) and Vladimir Karpets (Katusha) in the final kilometres to take his first win of the season.
Kreuziger made his move on the final climb with 15km to go, but Taaramae, Karpets and Frederik Kessiakoff (Fuji-Servetto) rejoined him after the descent. As the road kicked up again with a few kilometres to go, Kreuziger put in another dig and opened a gap, but was afraid the Estonian was blufffing.
"I gave everything to avoid being caught by Taaramae. I am happy for this victory, the first of 2009, mainly because it came on a tough stage and against major opponents," said Kreuziger.
"Tomorrow the final hard work awaits us, and we will have to be attentive to the attacks. The small time gaps will not allow any lapse of concentration."

Taaramae made a late charge to reach the wheel of the flying Kreuziger, but could not come around before the line. Karpets rolled in for third, while Fredrik Kessiakoff (Fuji-Servetto) came in fourth having been dropped from the trio after overshooting a bend on an earlier descent.
Kreuziger's efforts earned him the lead in the overall classification, where he now sits 18 seconds ahead of Karpets, and 25 ahead of Taaramae.
"Today Kreuziger was stronger than me, but I'm happy with my conditions above all because I look at the Tour de France, my seasonal goal, with more confidence."
The day's break contained Laurens Ten Dam (Rabobank), Igor Anton (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Jérôme Coppel (Francaise des Jeux). They were joined by Sandy Casar (FdJ), Christophe Kern (Cofidis), Fredrik Kessiakoff (Fuji-Servetto) and Evgeni Petrov (Katusha) with 45km to go.
The morning's leader Frantisek Rabon (Team Columbia-Highroad) was dropped from the peloton on the second category one climbs taken in under cold, rainy conditions.
