Liberty Seguros-Würth finished off the Tour de Romandie with one laughing and one crying eye. The Spanish team took home three top five placings with Alberto Contador, Jörg Jaksche and Andrey Kashechkin, one stage victory by Contador and the team's classification, but the overall victory finally went to Davitamon-Lotto's Cadel Evans, who was simply superior on the 20.4km-long time trial course of the last stage. Team director Manolo Saiz was happy with the result, but couldn't hide a little disappointment after coming so close to the final victory.
