Tour of Suisse Results

In the 9th and final stage, the second individual time trial in the Tour of Suisse, Fabian Cancellara (Leopard Trek) got his 2nd ITT victory in this Tour.



To shake things up a bit, American Levi Leipheimer (RadioShack), who started today fourth overall, with 1:59 down on leader Damiano Cunego (Lampre-ISD), claim the overall victory by four seconds, with a ride time 2'03" better than Cunego, who placed 2nd on th podium.


 


Steven Kruijswijk (Rabobank) held on to the final podium spot, 1:02 behind Leipheimer. This is a only a preview of what the Tour de France will bring and leaves a few questions open that will be answered in 5 weeks: Can Levi pull off a Tour de France victory? Will Cancellara continue this time trial reign? Will Andy Schleck be able to overcome his problems shown in the Tour of Suisse and make another podium apparance in the Tour de France?
