.: Hamilton repeats at Romandie :.
Tyler Hamilton (Phonak) erased any doubt he was the strongest man at 58th Tour de Romandie after cruising to a dominant victory in Sunday's 20.4km individual time trial to sew up the overall title.
Hamilton widened his 19-second lead to a 1-minute, 43-second victory over second place Fabian Jeker (Saunier Duval) to successfully defend his title in the demanding Swiss race on a course much more difficult than last year's.
The dominant win further confirms Hamilton's status as one of the top contenders for the 2004 Tour de France, which the 33-year-old said is already on his mind.
If Hamilton's performance is any indication during the six-day Romandie course -- which included two difficult days in the Swiss Alps and Sunday's challenging time trial course with a climbing finish to the Olympic stadium - he enters the Tour as one of the favorites to dethrone former teammate and five-time defending champion Lance Armstrong.
