The Tour of Romandie was a great showcase for Team RadioShack. Over the course of the 6 days of the Tour RadioShack demonstrated that it has a team of deep talent. Whilst Lance Armstrong and Levi Leipheimer raced in the SRAM Tour of the Gila, with Levi taking the top spot, in Europe the names in the sun were Brajkovic, Machado, Zubeldia and Rubeira. And these men were supported by the entire RadioShack team.

Haimar Zubeldia has done a fantastic job bringing in high ranking results in the first quarter of 2010; in the last week his success has been repeated by him and others. Brajkovic and Machado are time trialists ... but they also showed that they are mountain climbers and strategists, And what a sight it was - a line of RadioShack 'R's lined out across and at the front of the peloton. Brilliant!

And so to the results. I need say nothing, they speak for themselves. Read and relish - 4 men in the GC top 20.
