Discovery Channels, Paolo Savoldelli, vandt prologen i Romandiet Rundt. På en teknisk 3,4 km lang prolog vandt italieneren og viser dermed, at han er ved at være klar til Giro d'Italia.
Tyske Jan Ullrich fik også sin sæsondebut, men tyskeren fik ikke den store indflydelse på prologen, da han kørte stille og roligt i mål og sluttede langt efter Paolo Savoldelli.
Formstærke
Alejandro Valverde viste igen god form og kørte stortset i samme tid, som Savoldelli. Bradley McGee blev nummer 3 fire sekunder efter dagens vinder.
Samlet fører Paolo Savoldelli naturligvis også efter sin prolog-sejr.
