"A year as the Kazakhstan National time trial Champion is an honor, and I am proud to come to the Tour de Suisse and race in the white and blue jersey."
Those were the words of Astana's Daniil Fominykh after stage nine at the Tour de Suisse. Fominykh finished the hilly individual time trial around Bern with an average speed of 45.073km per hour.
Stage winner Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands finished the 38km course with an average speed of 47.407km per hour.
Teammate Alexey Lutsenko posted the fastest time of the day for Astana Pro Team, finishing more than 30 second ahead of Fominykh. Miguél López continued his strong week in Switzerland with an average speed on Sunday, finishing seventh overall in General Classification, 3:07 behind Simon Špilak of Slovenia.
The 2015 Tour de Suisse comes to the end for Astana Pro Team with one stage victory and strong performances by Lutsenko and López.
Jakob Fuglsang withdrew from competition on Saturday after an overnight stomach bug on Friday forced the Danish rider to leave the Tour de Suisse in order to recover fully for the upcoming Tour de France in July.
