Evans (2011), Wiggins (2012) and Froome (2013) all won the Tour de Romandie on their way to victory on the Champs ElyseDunkirk looks pretty ordinary doesn't it? Still go to catch up with Yorkshire, in any case.https://community.betfair.com/cycling/go/thread/view/147733/30484873/tour-de-romandie-28th-april-to-3rd-may?post_id=544569987#544569987Dunkirk looks pretty ordinary doesn't it?
