The Tour de Romandie is a stage race which is part of the UCI ProTour. It runs in the old Romandie region, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. It began in 1947, to coincide with the 50-year celebration of the Swiss Cycling.
The race traditionally starts with an individual time trial prologue in Geneva and ends with another individual time-trial in the hilly terrains in Lausanne. The final time-trial traditionally starts in the stadium north of Lausanne, goes downhill southwards to the Lac Léman (Lake Geneva), and makes its way back uphill to the stadium again. Not surprisingly, the winner and several of the top-ten finishers are usually excellent time trialists.
The parcours of the race usually winds northwards towards the Jura mountains and Alpine mountain ranges of western Switzerland.
Andreas Klöden won the race in 2008

This would have been a good race for Horner to improve his UCI ranking. Too bad that title is not very meaningful.

Let’s get real here. If Team Radio Shack is going to make a difference in the Tour de France, my question is where in the hell is Lance Armstrong? He is the guy this team was built around and he can’t even qualify in the top 100? Bullshit? Get off your ass Lance and get the F too work. Otherwise, even as a Radio Shack employee and cyclist I will root for another team. Maybe the truth is you can’t beat Contador and your chickening out now that your got your big time sponsor!

Palavras para quê? É simplesmente o verdadeiro porta estandarte da nação portuguesa e no ciclismo tem um nome TIAGO MACHADO, i think there is no transelation to english.
