The 2014 Tour de Romandie was the 68th running of the Tour de Romandie cycling stage race. The race consisted of six stages, beginning with a prologue stage in Ascona on 29 April and concluding with another individual time trial, in Neuchâtel, on 4 May. It was the fourteenth race of the 2014 UCI World Tour season.
In exactly the same podium positions as the 2013 edition, Great Britain's Chris Froome of Team Sky won the race for a second successive year, after winning the final time trial stage in Neuchâtel.[2] Having trailed Team Katusha rider Simon Špilak by a single second going into the stage,[3] Froome turned the deficit into a 28-second race-winning margin over the 18.5 km (11.5 mi) stage.[4] Špilak finished second, having won the race's third stage – the queen stage into Aigle – by beating Froome in a two-up sprint, after the pair had attacked towards the end of the stage.[5] The podium was completed again by Rui Costa,[6] now riding for Lampre–Merida, who finished third for the third year in a row. Costa finished 64 seconds behind Špilak,[1] and one minute 32 seconds behind Froome.[7]
In the race's other classifications, the Movistar Team's Jesús Herrada was the winner of the white jersey for the young rider classification as he was the highest placed rider born in 1989 or later, finishing in ninth place overall,[8] 16 seconds ahead of nearest rival, FDJ.fr's Thibaut Pinot.[7] Martin Kohler of the BMC Racing Team won the green jersey for the most points gained in intermediate sprints,[9] while the pink jersey for the King of the Mountains classification went to Johann Tschopp of IAM Cycling.[7] The teams classification was won by the Movistar Team, after the squad placed three riders – Beñat Intxausti (sixth), Jon Izagirre (eighth) and Herrada – inside the top ten overall.[8]
