Tour de Suisse 2008
Stage 1:
Sprinters catch breakaway in final kilometres
Oscar Freire has won the opening stage of the Tour de Suisse that featured five mountains over 1000 metres in altitude. The Spaniard, who profited from his team's work to catch the break of the day with less than two kilometres remaining, also took the leader's jersey. Freire is ahead of Martin Elmiger (AG2R La Mondiale) and David Loosli (Lampre), who gained enough time bonuses in the intermediate sprints to trail the three-time world champion by only four seconds. Loosli was the man of the day, as he initiated the break and was joined by Steve Zampieri (Cofidis) and Iñigo Landaluze (Euskaltel-Euskadi). The Swiss rider then took both sprints and was also first on both KOMs.
There were only 15 kilometres from the top of the 1102-metre high Chuderhüsi to the finish, but the climbs were easy enough that the sprinters realised they had to stay close and hope their teams could get the break under control. The break still had 20 seconds with three kilometres to go over a Rabobank-led peloton. With two kilometres remaining it was nine seconds, but the Rabo train, with some support from Gerolsteiner, was unstoppable and the break was caught before the flamme rouge.

Stage 2:
Anton takes control on the Flumserberg
Igor Anton (Euskaltel-Euskadi) proved to have the best legs at the top of the long climb to Flumserberg, as he broke away from his six remaining rivals to take the stage win by six seconds over Kim Kirchen (High Road) and Damiano Cunego (Lampre). Anton also took the leader's jersey from Oscar Freire (Rabobank) while pre-race favourite Andreas Klöden (Astana) lost 30 seconds on the final climb.
"When I finished second in the Euskal Bizkleta, I said that it is very difficult to win, and that one must take advantage of the opportunities," said the 25 year-old. "Today I have not failed. I am very thankful to my team-mates for the confidence that have shown in me.
"On the final ascent there were a lot of attacks. I knew that I had to be careful with people like Cunego," he added. "Kirchen is also fast... The last 300 metres seemed to me to never end, but I have achieved a very important victory for the team."
The stage was marked by rain and a long escape by Swiss AG2R rider Martin Elmiger. He left the peloton at km 39 and built up a maximum lead of 18 minutes before hitting the first climb in the middle of the stage. Once the climbs started, his lead gradually disintegrated, falling dramatically in the last 20 km until he was passed by the remains of the peloton at the start of the Flumserberg climb with 10 km to go.
That led to a furious finale, with the group of 30 or so, including all the favourites, slimming down to seven riders, with Anton sprinting out to take the win. Elmiger finished the day 155th of 158 riders, over 17 minutes down.

Stage 3:
Three is McEwen's lucky number
After being shut out of stage wins at the Giro d'Italia, Australian Robbie McEwen at last scored a sprint victory in the third stage of the Tour de Suisse. His only other win this season came in the Tour of Romandie, where he also took the third stage sprint win. The Silence-Lotto rider beat Spaniard Oscar Freire (Rabobank) and Team High Road's Gerald Ciolek on a rainy day in the Swiss race. Igor Anton (Euskaltel) retained the leader's jersey.
McEwen credited his team-mates for the victory. "What Leif Hoste and Greg Van Avermaet did today in the last kilometer was sublime," he said. "It was a very hard day because of the rain and the team had to work really hard." When the peloton hit the one kilometer marker, Hoste went to the front, and then with 500 meters to go, the younger and faster Van Avermaet took over. Finally, it was the turn of the speedy Australian, who showed his classic unbeatable burst of power from 250 meters to go, and none of his rivals were unable to catch up with him.
The race was dominated by a 140 km escape by three men: Herve Duclos-Lassalle (Cofidis), René Weissinger (Volksbank) and Jeff Louder (BMC) built up a lead of seven and a half minutes, but were ultimately caught by the peloton with 10 km to go. The escape was worth it for Weissiner, who won both intermediate sprints on the day, thus taking over the white sprinter's jersey.

Stage 4:
McEwen does it again
Silence-Lotto's Robbie McEwen did it again, jumping into the wind early and taking it all the way to the finish line, to win his second straight mass sprint in the Tour de Suisse. Second and third places went to Oscar Freire (Rabobank) and Gerald Ciolek (High Road).
"In the finale I had Leif Hoste, Jurgen Roelandts and Greg Van Avermaet beside me, and they did it perfectly," McEwen said. "I could launch my sprint in the last turn. Now we will go drink a glass of champagne."
Referring to press reports from yesterday's awards ceremony, which claimed the the Australian had cursed at the race and the country, McEwen explained, "A Swiss newspaper wrote that I had offended the land. That is not true. I love Switzerland!"
The race was once again dominated by a long escape. Jerome Pineau (Bouygues Telecom,) Matej Jurco (Milram) and Jonathan Garcia (BMC) got away only a few kilometers into the stage and built up a lead of up to nearly ten minutes. However, the sprinters' teams were determined not to let them stay away to the end, and caught them with only six kilometres left to the finish line.

Stage 5:
Fothen scoops victory after Schleck crashes hard
Gerolsteiner rider Markus Fothen took what is arguably the most significant result of his pro career when he won the fifth leg of the Tour de Suisse, a hilly stage concluding in Caslano.
Fothen broke free on the final climb and descended well to close down the lone leader Fränk Schleck (CSC), who had made his own move earlier on the ascent of the second category slopes of the Cademario.
The two traded pulls until the Luxembourg rider dramatically crashed with approximately four kilometres to go, losing what looked to be a certain opportunity to wrest the race leader's yellow jersey from the shoulders of Igor Anton (Euskaltel Euskadi).
Schleck misjudged a tight right-hand bend and slammed into the guardrail, flipping over and falling down the other side. He was miraculously unharmed, apart from scrapes and bruises, but ultimately finished 2'52" back in 44th place.
Schleck had started the day just 16" seconds in arrears and with Fothen hitting the line almost a minute clear of Anton's group, it was clear that there would have been a change at the top of the general classification.
Fothen scooped up the victory, returning to the limelight he enjoyed when he led the best young rider competition in the 2006 Tour de France. "It is wonderful, it is a great race here at the Tour de Suisse," he said at the post-race press conference. "It is a good preparation for my season goal of the Tour. I am in a very good condition and am very lucky.

Stage 6:
Kirchen grabs stage win and yellow jersey
Second overall last year, Kim Kirchen showed he is well in contention to take the final victory in this year's Tour de Suisse when he won the sixth stage of the race and seized the race leader's jersey.
The Team High Road rider remained calm when other big guns such as Frank Schleck and Stijn Devolder started firing off big attacks on the day's final climb, the summit finish up to the ski village of Verbier, preserving his power until closer to the line. He then kicked hard, beating Andreas Klöden (Astana) and putting six seconds into Roman Kreuziger (Liquigas). Serguei Ivanof (Astana) and Devolder were fourth and fifth, twelve and twenty seconds back respectively.
Race leader Igor Antón (Euskaltel Euskadi) did what he could to try to hold onto his yellow jersey but just came up short, finishing 29 seconds back in eighth and dropping to third overall. Kreuziger now is Kirchen's closest challenger but is 27 seconds back. Provided High Road can control tomorrow's undulating stage, it means that Kirchen will have a solid advantage heading into Saturday's 25 kilometre mountain time trial.
"I felt good at the end today," said the pleased Luxembourger after the stage. "The riders went up the climb very strongly, with the group going very quickly due to early attacks. I kept my own rhythm.
1 Kim Kirchen (Lux) Team High Road 5.29.23 (34.264 km/h)

9 Damiano Cunego (Ita) Lampre 0.31
10 Markus Fothen (Ger) Gerolsteiner
Stage 7:
Cancellara hoofs it to solo Swiss success
Much as he did in winning Milan-Sanremo earlier this year, Fabian Cancellara thundered out of a breakaway group and soloed the final kilometres to claim the seventh stage of the Tour de Suisse. The double world time trial champion made full use of his horsepower to hold off a hard-chasing bunch, reaching the finish in Lyss with enough time to sit up, celebrate, savour the Swiss support and still finish two seconds ahead of Erik Zabel (Team Milram), Robbie McEwen (Silence Lotto) plus the rest of the peloton.
Race leader Kim Kirchen and his High Road team controlled the race well, with the former keeping an eye on things personally when a dangerous move got clear inside the final ten kilometres.
Leif Hoste (Silence-Lotto) was first of these to go, surging on the category four climb of Lobsigen, and was joined by Cancellara and Markus Fothen (Gerolsteiner). Philippe Gilbert (Française des Jeux) bridged with Kirchen also jumping across, realising that an attack is sometimes the best form of defence. Fothen had started the day just over a minute back and so keeping the German under control was one of Kirchen's main motivations.
Cancellara made his solo effort with approximately five kilometres to go, and was completely committed from there to the line. He received a huge roar from the crowd, and said afterwards that he was delighted to win close to his hometown of Bern.
1 Fabian Cancellara (Swi) Team CSC 3.47.09 (45.063 km/h)
2 Erik Zabel (Ger) Team Milram 0.02
3 Robbie McEwen (Aus) Silence - Lotto
4 Robert Förster (Ger) Gerolsteiner
5 Danilo Napolitano (Ita) Lampre
Stage 8:
Kreuziger crushes rivals
Storming to his biggest career win thus far, Czech rider Roman Kreuziger wrested the yellow jersey off the shoulders of High Road rival Kim Kirchen on a tough 25 kilometre mountain time trial to the top of the Klausenpass.
The former world junior champion set a superb pace on the climb, beating early leader José Rujano Guillen (Caisse d'Eparagne) by sixteen seconds and Andreas Klöden (Astana) by a further two. Damiano Cunego (Lampre) was the only other to finish less than a minute behind, while the overnight leader Kirchen was on an off-day and placed only fifteenth. He was a considerable 3'25" down and dropped to seventh overall, with Klöden now the closest challenger to the new yellow jersey.
"Until now, my win in the 2004 world junior title in Verona was the most important. But now this victory here in the time trial tops that result," said an elated Kreuziger afterwards. "I hadn't done a mountain time trial yet with the pros, but I was very motivated because I was second overall going into today. This is my first big victory as a professional."
The 22 year-old clearly likes racing in Switzerland, given that he was second overall in the Tour du Romandie this season. In fact, he has a long history of competing in the country. "I was racing as a schoolboy for a Swiss club called RV Sulz and as a junior I competed for the Groupe Sportif Schumacher, which also had its base in Sulz," he said.

Stage 9:
Cancellara repeats, Kreuziger takes overall
Déjà vu. If his stage winning attack two days ago was reminiscent of his victory in Milan Sanremo, Fabian Cancellara's flourish today in his hometown of Bern was forged in the same manner as his Tour de France stage win in Compiègne last July.
The big CSC rider blasted out of the peloton inside the final kilometre, closing up to Belgian rider Philippe Gilbert (Française des Jeux) and edging by with less than 100 metres to go. He hit the line a bike length clear, earning a massive roar from the crowd and following up his final-stage time trial success here one year ago.
"The victory is great for me because I live just five kilometres from here, and because my my wife Stefanie and daughter Juliana were here at the finish," he said afterwards. "It was quite difficult to catch Philippe Gilbert but I got a huge push from the shouts of the public.
"I attacked in the last kilometre. The moment was probably chosen by chance, it is never possible that you decide to attack exactly here or there. I was helped by the fact that some of the sprinters had already left the race. When I was at the front of the peloton, I looked on the right side and the left side to see if any of the fast men were around. I realised it was a good moment then and I went."
Cancellara finished just ahead of Gilbert and four seconds ahead of Daniel Moreno (Caisse d'Epargne). Matteo Tosatto (Quick Step) had also tried to catch Gilbert and he held on for fourth, finishing just ahead of Markus Zberg (Gerolsteiner) and the rest of the main field. Race leader Roman Kreuziger (Liqugas) placed 26th and thus preserved his overnight 49" lead over Andreas Klöden (Astana), landing his biggest win thus far.
