Vucherens (Switzerland) (AFP) – The Slovenian star Tadej Pogacar, overall leader of the Tour de Romandie since his victory on Wednesday in the first stage, also took the second, this Thursday in Vucherens (Switzerland), by overtaking the Frenchman Dorian Godon, the winner of the prologue on Tuesday, in the sprint.

Godon's team, Ineos, did a masterful job to position the French champion for the final sprint, whose hostilities were launched by the German Florian Lipowitz.

But then Pogacar appeared, who initially seemed to have run out of space, to end up beating Godon by one wheel, thus pocketing a ten-second bonus and reinforcing his overall lead over Lipowitz and the Frenchman Lenny Martinez.

This 79th edition of the Tour de Romandie continues on Friday with a third stage around Orbe, 176.6 kilometres, before the queen stage takes place on Saturday, a mountain stage ending in Broc-Charmey, and finally the last stage, on Sunday, which includes an ascent towards Leysin.
