Team Garmin-Slipstream’s Tyler Farrar started off the Tour de Romandie, as well as his comeback from injury, in strong fashion with a fourth place in the opening prologue, earning him the Best Young Rider jersey as well.
“I have to admit I was a little surprised by my result today,” said Farrar. “I have been feeling good in training, but I didn’t think I would be able to jump back into racing with a result. Of course the morale is high now and I am looking forward to the rest of the week!”
