Kohler wins Swiss time trial

Martin Kohler of BMC Racing Team won the Swiss national time trial championship Sunday in Roggliswil. He covered the 41km course in a time of 59:20. Second place went to Marcel Wyss (Geox-TMC), with Kohler's BMC teammate Matthias Frank in third place at 41 seconds.

Defending champion Rubens Bertogliati (Team Type 1-Sanofi Aventis) was fourth, 47 seconds down. World time trial champion Fabian Cancellara did not participate.

"It's kind of a surprise for me, but it's great," Kohler said in a team press release. "It was a great podium today since we're all really good friends. We're the same age and have been riding together since we were juniors and then in the Under 23 ranks and the national team."
