And thus, the escapees got their shot at winning a stage. After a stage win in the Tirreno–Adriatico, LAM 2007 cyclist Matteo Bono added another nice win to his palmares. He held off Japan's Fumiyuki Beppu in the sprint. Beppu did score the first Pro Tour points ever for Japan.https://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/may07/romandie07?id=results/romandie073 Bono sprints to soggy stage win cyclingnews.com 8 May 2026 Stage 3 results 1 Matteo Bono ITA LAM 2007 4h 04' 15" 2 Fumiyuki Beppu JAP DSC 2007 + 0" 3 Marco Pinotti ITA THR 2007a + 2" 4 Christophe Moreau FRA A2R 2007 + 3' 51" 5 Thomas Dekker NED RAB 2007 + 3' 51" 6 Andrea Tonti ITA THR 2007a + 3' 51" 7 Theo Eltink NED RAB 2007 + 3' 51" 8 Roger Beuchat SUI LPR 2007 + 3' 51" 9 Markus Fothen GER GST 2007 + 3' 51" 10 Patrick Calcagni SUI LIQ 2007 + 3' 51" https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-romandie/2007/stage-3 Tour de Romandie 2007 Stage 3 results ProCyclingStats.com 8 May 2026 Stage 4 5 May – Charmey to Pas de Morgins, 155.9 km A long break by LAM 2007 rider Gorazd Štangelj finished with 8 kilometres to go. By then, AST 2007's Eddy Mazzoleni upped the pace. He thinned out the group until there were about 15 riders left. Attacks followed by José Ángel Gómez Marchante and Sylwester Szmyd. But the only real successful attack was by Spaniard Igor Antón. Dutch rider Thomas Dekker saw the danger and took over from Mazzoleni. As a result, only five riders could follow. American OLO 2007 cyclist Chris Horner attacked with 4 kilometres to go. Dekker replied instantly and with much pain and suffering also Frenchman John Gadret managed to follow. The trio caught up with Antón, who was happy to sit in last wheel and follow. Although Dekker made the strongest impression and tried to get away twice, it was Antón who took the win. Dekker disputed the win due to a seemingly irregular sprint by Antón. But his protest was denied.https://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/may07/romandie07?id=results/romandie074 Anton and Horner take the honors in the rain cyclingnews.com 8 May 2026 Stage 4 results 1 Igor Antón ESP EUS 2007 4h 36' 56" 2 Thomas Dekker NED RAB 2007 + 0" 3 Chris Horner USA SIL 2007 + 0" 4 John Gadret FRA A2R 2007 + 2" 5 Cadel Evans AUS SIL 2007 + 16" 6 Sylwester Szmyd POL LAM 2007 + 16" 7 Andy Schleck LUX CSC 2007 + 16" 8 Paolo Savoldelli ITA AST 2007 + 16" yellow 9 Andrey Kashechkin KAZ AST 2007 + 23" 10 Joaquim Rodríguez ESP MOV 2007 + 16" https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-romandie/2007/stage-4 Tour de Romandie 2007 Stage 4 results ProCyclingStats.com 8 May 2026 Stage 5 6 May – Lausanne, 20.4 km ITT In the finishing time trial around Lausanne, Thomas Dekker didn't allow his competitors to have any hopes of winning the Tour de Romandie. Only AST 2007 riders Paolo Savoldelli and Andrey Kashechkin stayed somewhat in the vicinity of Dekker. The young Dutch hope of winning the Tour de France in the future did a triple strike by winning the time trial, the final general classification and the points classification.https://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/may07/romandie07?id=results/romandie075 Dekker takes it all cyclingnews.com 8 May 2026 Stage 5 results 1 Thomas Dekker NED RAB 2007 26' 36" 2 Paolo Savoldelli ITA AST 2007 + 5" 3 Andrey Kashechkin KAZ AST 2007 + 12" 4 Cadel Evans AUS SIL 2007 + 23" 5 Eddy Mazzoleni ITA AST 2007 + 46" 6 Roman Kreuziger CZE LIQ 2007 + 52" 7 Chris Horner USA SIL 2007 + 55" yellow 8 David Zabriskie USA CSC 2007 + 57" 9 Sandy Casar FRA FDJ 2007 + 1' 01" 10 Janez Brajkovič SLO DSC 2007 + 1' 05" https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-romandie/2007/stage-5 Tour de Romandie 2007 Stage 5 (ITT) results ProCyclingStats.com 8 May 2026 Classification standings General classification Final general classification (1–10) 1 Thomas Dekker NED RAB 2007 17h 27' 02" 2 Paolo Savoldelli ITA AST 2007 + 11" 3 Andrey Kashechkin KAZ AST 2007 + 34" 4 Cadel Evans AUS SIL 2007 + 43" 5 Chris Horner USA SIL 2007 + 46" 6 Roman Kreuziger CZE LIQ 2007 + 1' 35" 7 Igor Antón ESP EUS 2007 + 1' 51" 8 Andy Schleck LUX CSC 2007 + 1' 53" 9 Sylwester Szmyd POL LAM 2007 + 1' 55" 10 Janez Brajkovič SLO DSC 2007 + 2' 00" https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-romandie/2007/gc Tour de Romandie 2007 Stage 5 (ITT) results ProCyclingStats.com 8 May 2026 Mountains classification Final mountains classification (1–10) yes 1 Laurent Brochard FRA BBO 2007 64 2 Chris Anker Sørensen DEN CSC 2007 42 3 Eros Capecchi ITA LIQ 2007 30 4 Gorazd Štangelj SLO LAM 2007 18 5 Marco Pinotti ITA THR 2007a 18 6 Chris Horner USA SIL 2007 12 7 Iván Ramiro Parra COL COF 2007 12 8 Thomas Dekker NED RAB 2007 8 9 Amets Txurruka ESP EUS 2007 8 10 Marco Marzano ITA LAM 2007 8 https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-romandie/2007/stage-5-kom Tour de Romandie 2007 Stage 5 (ITT) results ProCyclingStats.com 8 May 2026 Points classification Final points classification (1–10) yes 1 Thomas Dekker NED RAB 2007 43 2 Paolo Savoldelli ITA AST 2007 35 3 Markus Fothen GER GST 2007 32 4 Chris Horner USA SIL 2007 32 5 Cadel Evans AUS SIL 2007 31 6 Andrey Kashechkin KAZ AST 2007 26 7 Igor Antón ESP EUS 2007 25 8 Roman Kreuziger CZE LIQ 2007 23 9 Joaquim Rodríguez ESP MOV 2007 22 10 Francisco Pérez ESP MOV 2007 20 https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-romandie/2007/points Tour de Romandie 2007 Stage 5 (ITT) results ProCyclingStats.com 8 May 2026 Sprints classification Final sprints classification (1–10) yes 1 Patrick Calcagni SUI LIQ 2007 10 2 László Bodrogi HUN C.A 2007 9 3 Sandy Casar FRA FDJ 2007 7 4 Marco Pinotti ITA THR 2007a 7 5 Laurent Brochard FRA BBO 2007 7 6 Gorazd Štangelj SLO LAM 2007 7 7 Chris Horner USA SIL 2007 3 8 Amets Txurruka ESP EUS 2007 3 9 Mauro Facci ITA QST 2007 3 10 Igor Antón ESP EUS 2007 1 https://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2007/may07/romandie07?id=results/romandie075 Dekker takes it all cyclingnews.com 8 May 2026 Individual 2007 UCI ProTour standings As of 6 May after the Tour de Romandie.Updated Rankings https://web.archive.org/web/20120208014423/http://www.uciprotour.com/Modules/SUCI/RACES/RaceRanking.asp?MenuId=MjE5OA&RaceId=MTQ0&RankId=OTk&BackLink=%2Ftemplates%2FUCI%2FUCI2%2Flayout.asp%3FMenuId%3DMjE5OA 2012-02-08 2007-05-06; UCI; Accessed 2007-05-06 While the top 10 places remained the same, race winner Thomas Dekker scored his first UCI ProTour points and moved into 11th place.
