Cerny wins Tour de Romandie prologue
Josef Cerny (Soudal-QuickStep) took the opening prologue of the Tour de Romandie in Port-Valais with a time of 7:25 over the 6.8km course to beat the current world champion Tobias Foss (Jumbo-Visma) by just 0.29 seconds. Cerny’s teammate, Rémi Cavagna took third, just 0.97 seconds behind.
“In the end I did quite a nice prologue, but the result was in one second for three guys, so it was really tight,” Cerny said to reporters after the race. “I’m super happy that I’m the lucky one today and that I can enjoy this win. I work hard so it’s not really a surprise. But it’s good teams and good names starting here so I wasn’t really the favourite, but I was very confident, and I was thinking that I can be in the top 10 or top five. Victory is something really nice for me. It was really quick, really painful, but now I’m really satisfied, and I will enjoy it. I think it will be hard for a sprint (tomorrow), but I think we can keep (the leader's jersey) and we’ll see for the other days.”\n
