Yves Lampaert wins the opening time trial at the Tour de Suisse in Vaduz

This year’s edition of the Tour de Suisse kicked off with a thrilling opening time trial in Vaduz, the capital city of Liechtenstein. The technical 5km-long course provided a challenging test for the riders, with Yves Lampaert emerging victorious with a time of just over five minutes. Lampaert’s impressive performance saw him achieve an average speed of around 56km/h, securing both the stage win and the overall lead in the race.

The Soudal Quick-Step rider’s dominant display set the standard for the day, with none of the other competitors able to surpass his time. Despite facing tough competition from talented time trial specialists, Lampaert showcased his strength and skill on the course. This victory marks a significant achievement for Lampaert, coming on the heels of his time trial win on the opening stage of the Tour de France in 2022. It serves as a strong indication of his form and readiness for the upcoming Tour de France, set to commence later this month.
