Taylor Phinney (Team BMC) has declared himself happy after a block of racing at the Tour de Romandie. The American went through a roller-coaster of experiences during the five-day event, finishing second in the prologue, working to help secure the win for team leader Cadel Evans, crashing in the time trial and missing the time cut on the final stage to Geneva.
