Bradley Wiggins has won the hilly final time-trial of the Tour de Romandie to take the overall win. Wiggins started the stage in second place, nine seconds behind Luis Leon Sanchez. However the Spaniard would not be a factor in the battle for the general classification win. The strongest challenge came from young American Andrew Talansky, who set the time to beat in Crans-Montana. Wiggins suffered a slight mechanical problem when his chain came off but remained calm and was able to beat Talansky on the stage by less than a second.
The stage win gave Wiggins the overall victory by 16 seconds. It is his second World Tour ranked stage race vicory of the year following on from Paris-Nice in March, and his third in total as he also won the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré last year.
