Race Recap
Hayter wins stage 2
Ethan Hayter (IGD) won stage 2 of the Tour de Romandie after holding off a late charge from Jon Aberasturi (TFS) and Fernando Gaviria (UAD). The young Briton was delivered to the line slightly early by his Ineos team, however, had the strength to follow through to take his second victory of the week.
"We knew [the stage victory] was possible but I didn’t know how I’d be after [the crash] yesterday. I rode my way into the stage and the team were amazing today. It’s probably my nicest win – they took it on and we were in position to take the race on like that. To finish it off with a win is amazing.\n \n"I was really lucky yesterday. Obviously I crashed, but to come out with nothing broken and still be able to ride today was fortunate. It was planned to take the race on if I felt okay and obviously we did the same last 40km right at the start. We’d seen it already so we pushed down the descent and on the climbs as well. It wasn’t necessarily to get rid of riders, but maybe to put people under pressure because the climbs are good for me, and I recovered well before the sprint."
