Tour de Suisse 2017 – Stage 1 [FULL STAGE – Individual Time Trial]

June 10, 2017

Tour de Suisse 2017 – Stage 1 – Cham – Cham (ITT) : 6 km

The 2017 Tour de Suisse is a road cycling stage race that is scheduled to take place between 10 and 18 June. It will be the 81st edition of the Tour de Suisse and will be the twenty-fourth event of the 2017 UCI World Tour.

Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing) stormed as fastest to the finish line of the time trial opener at the Tour de Suisse, covering the 6.1km course in 6:24 to win the stage. His BMC teammate Stefan Küng was second, eight seconds down, with Mathias Brändle of Trek-Segafredo third at nine seconds.

The next two places were filled by Team Sunweb, with Michael Matthews fourth and Giro d’Italia winner Tom Dumoulin fifth.

The stage results are also the first GC.

“I actually thought that Stefan Kung would probably beat me. Obviously it’s his home country so it would have been nice for him to win but he’s got more time than me, he’s younger and he’s a huge talent. I think in a couple of years he might have the victory over me so I will take it while I can,” said Dennis.

“A one and two for BMC Racing Team is always good. My first goal for this week was the prologue and the final time trial just to see where I am at and try and have fun during the week. I just want to get into the swing of things and Damiano Caruso is our leader here.”

Ryan Mullen of Cannondale-Drapac held the lead and hot seat for nearly three hours, putting in an early best time of 6:37. It was good enough to keep him in the top ten, as he finished eighth on the stage.

BMC was the team of the day, claiming the top two spots as well as 10th, with Swiss rider Martin Elmiger.

The course was relatively flat, but organisers managed to build a climb into it, and the KOM jersey went to a Sunweb rider. Not Dumoulin, as might be expected, but sprinter Matthews.
