Tony Martin (Etixx-QuickStep) lived up to his reputation as a supreme time trialist, after winning the 6th and final stage of this year’s Tour de Romandie.
Martin went on to set the fastest time of 23:17, along today’s hilly 17.3 kilometer individual time trial, at beat Simon Spilak (Katusha) by 11 seconds and Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha) by 13 seconds.
However, Zakarin’s performance in the ITT, was enough for the Russian rider to claim the overall race, ahead of his teammate Spilak and defending champion Chris Froome (Sky) who failed to make it into the top 10 finishers of today’s time trial.
