Tony Martin riding to his stage 6 win.

The Race: Ilnur Zakarin is certainly a rider to watch (for more than one reason). The Katusha rider, who is back after being suspended for banned drug use, put in a consistent, high-quality performance in one of cycling's most important stage races.

Tony Martin, as one of the world's premier time trialist, did not surprise anyone with his superb stage-winning ride. Zakarin, however, had to overcome a mechanical problem that forced him to switch bikes mid-way through his ride today. Still, he finished just thirteen seconds slower than Martin, a great performance.

Simon Spilak also turned in a terrific ride, allowing him to move up to second-place in the GC, giving the Katusha team first and second places in the final GC.

Saturday, May 2: Stage 5, Fribourg - Champex Lac, 162.7 km

Stage 5 map and profile | Stage 5 photos |

Thibaut Pinot wins a rainy Romandie stage 5.

The Race: With the stage containing four first category climbs and the finish atop the final one, the 1,493 meter high Champex Lec, a change in the overall standings was almost inevitable. The day did not disappoint.

On a rainy day in Switzerland, Thibaut Pinot left a small group of survivors at about five kilometers to the finish. Katusha rider Ilnur Zakarin went after him, but could not close the gap. Pinot crossed the line alone with Zakarin just seven seconds behind the FDJ rider.

With the time bonus for second place, Zakarin became the new GC leader with Pinot in second, at six seconds. Some highly regarded riders could not keep the pace the stage leaders set, including Christopher Froome, Vincenzo Nibali and Michele Scarponi.

Friday, May 1: Stage 4, La Neuveille - Fribourg, 169.8 km

Stage 4 photos | Stage 4 map and profile |

Stefan Kueng wins Romandie stage 4.

The Race: This was neat! Well in advance, world pursuit champion Stefan Kueng (or Küng if you prefer) decided this stage had his name on it and made plans to win it.

Deciding that joining an early break would be the soundest strategy, the 21-year-old rider escaped with some real horsepower, Bertjan Lindeman, Jan Bakelants and Pavel Kochetkov. The plan played out perfectly. Kueng dropped his companions with more than twenty kilometers still to race. He drew on his pursuiting skills and hammered his way home, finishing alone and winning the stage.

GC leader Michael Albasini finished near the front of the first chasing group to preserve his overall lead.

Thursday, April 30: Stage 3, Moutier - Porrentruy, 172.5 km

Stage 3 map and elevation | Stage 3 photos |

Michael Albasini wins Romandie stage 3.

The Race: Orica-GreenEdge racer Michael Albasini must be enjoying his time in Romandie. He's won two stages in a row and consolidated his GC lead a bit, being 20 seconds now ahead of teammate Ivan Santaromita.

Though the stage had a hilly profile, a long downhill to the finish allowed more than 70 riders to come together to contest the finish.

With capable help from teammates, Albasini got a good leadout and won the stage.

Complete Results:

172.5 km raced at an average speed of 40.599 km/hr

Wednesday, April 29: Stage 2, Apples - Saint Inier, 168.1 km

Stage 2 map and elevation | Stage 2 photos |

Michael Albasini wins stage two.

The Race: The Tour de Romandie has a different GC leader today because of a badly-timed flat tire suffered by yesterday's overall leader Geraint Thomas.

At about twenty kilometers to go, with the pack breathing fire and rolling along at a high speed, Thomas flatted and never regained the front group. He eventually finished 69th, more than two minutes behind the stage winner Michael Albasini.

The final kilometers were animated by an attack by Rein Taaramae, who escaped on the descent of the final climb. But despite gaining a nearly half-minute gap, he was caught in the final kilometers, setting things up for a big sprint, which was won by Michael Albasini.

Because of Orica-GreenEdge's great stage one team time trial, Albasini also becomes the new overall leader.

Stage 1 map and elevation | Stage 1 photos |

Team Sky speeding to victory

The Race: That was close. After nearly 20 kilometers of team time trialing through the Swiss countryside with a climbs and descent at the ends, Sky and Orica-GreenEdge were separated by just .63 seconds, with Sky being the slightly faster team. In the results, that's rounded to same time, but first place goes to Sky.

Sky is the team of defending 2014 winner Christopher Froome, so he's off to a perfect start in his attempt to repeat his win.

Katusha also turned in an excellent ride, coming in just five seconds slower than Sky and Orica-GreenEdge.

That makes Geraint Thomas the 2015 edition's first leader.
