Cycling update: Tour de Romandie

On the strength of his final day time trial, Cadel Evans won the six-day Tour de Romandie on Sunday, denying Alejandro Valverde another victory this spring. Jan Ullrich finished 115th out of 120 riders; he's typically off his form in the early season, and he's been fighting a knee injury, but that can't be a reassuring result. He's confirmed for the Giro d'Italia, so that should help whip him into shape. But right now I have to say Ivan Basso is looking like a much better candidate for the yellow jersey than Ullrich. Floyd Landis is looking tough too.
