Race Recap
Hayter takes stage 2 victory
Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) claimed stage 2 of the Tour de Romandie and took over the yellow jersey after a bunch sprint into La Chaux-de-Fonds after 167km of racing. Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) finished in second place and Romain Bardet (DSM) finished third. Hayter is the new race leader going into tomorrow's time trial.
"Maybe the sprint was not so close but to get there was the hard part," Hayter said. "Jumbo-Visma set a good pace on all the last climbs, and there were quite a lot of attacks, especially at the end. I survived and did a good sprint. My team hit the front a bit early but I think it was best with all the roundabouts to stay out of trouble. I was just waiting waiting waiting for the guys to come behind, and not to go too early. I saw someone coming and just started to wind up the sprint."
