The performance of the Team LAMPRE-MERIDA in the opening team time trial of Tour de Romandie fulfilled the expectation. The team covered the 19.2 km course from Vallée de Joux to Juraparc in 22' at an average speed of 52,364 km/h. In the race standing, LAMPRE-MERIDA was 11th, 41" from the winning team (Sky) and 1" from the 9th position.
Sports directorPhilipped Mauduit explained: "We did a performance that met the expectations, considering the qualities of our riders in this kind of speciality.
"Moreover, it's important to consider that five of our riders rode Liege-Bastogne-Liege on Sunday, no other teams had so many riders that raced the Doyenne: in a short and fast team time trial like today's, it's an important detail.
"Thee team time trial will affect the GC but there will be opportunities to reduce the gaps that the team time trial created in the overall classification".
