Race Recap
Grégoire Wins Stage 1
The Tour de Suisse opened with a chaotic and rain-soaked race. Romain Grégoire attacked from the breakaway on the final descent and soloed to the stage win and the leader’s jersey.
On the first ascent of the Michaelskreuz, Felix Engelhardt and Julian Alaphilippe launched an attack. After the first passage of the finish line, they were joined by a 26-head group including Lennard Kämna, Matej Mohoric, Kévin Vauquelin, Bart Lemmen, Ben O’Connor, Romain Grégoire, Pablo Castrillo, Lorenzo Fortunato, Benoît Cosnefroy, Warren Barguil, and Quinn Simmons.
The breakaway opened up a gap of over 3 minutes on the peloton. That margin remained steady for dozens of kilometres.
A quartet of riders reached the summit of the final climb, the Michaelskreuz, in first position: Lemmen, Grégoire, Alaphilippe, and Vauquelin.
Grégoire opened a gap on the descent and was so strong in the flat final section that he kept the other three well behind. In the sprint for second place, Bart Lemmen had to concede to Kévin Vauquelin.
The peloton, including top favourite João Almeida, finished over three minutes later.
