Race Recap
Watson Wins 3 km Prologue
Samuel Watson stormed to prologue victory and leader’s jersey in the Tour de Romandie, edging Ivo Oliveira by just 0.28 seconds.
"It feels amazing to be honest," Watson said after the race. "I think they called me up (to do this race) yesterday. If I had prepared properly, I could have said that I was going for the victory today, but this late call-up was a complete surprise, so I'm very happy."
"The course was technical, so of course you had to carry the speed through the corners and then get up to speed as fast as you can," Watson said. "Every straight I was on, I told myself that at the end of the straight was the finish line. So, coming into every corner, I was dead."
Tomorrow is the 1st stage, which packs in 3,200 metres of climbing. The finale is tailor-made for explosive riders, featuring a 1-kilometer ramp at 6.7% that starts 2 kilometers from the line.
