Although Robert Gesink (Rabobank) wouldn't claim to be a time trial specialist, the Dutchman was surprised and disappointed by his time in today's concluding stage of the Tour de Suisse. Over the course of the 26.9 kilometre test, he conceded a total of two minutes and 19 seconds to HTC-Columbia's Tony Martin, and also handed away over a minute to his main rivals.
