LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AFP) — Chris Froome’s ambitions for a third-straight win at the Tour de Romandie are alive and well as his Sky team won Tuesday’s opening-stage team time trial by less than one second.
The British squad stopped the clock on the 19.2km stage from Vallee de Joux to Jurapac in 21 minutes, 19 seconds, narrowly ahead of Australian team Orica-GreenEdge and five seconds quicker than Katusha.
Sky’s Geraint Thomas will wear the leader’s yellow jersey on Wednesday’s hilly second stage from Apples to Saint-Imier.
