Ethan Vernon (Soudal-Quick Step) wins first stage of Tour de Romandie. 22-year-old sprinter topped Belgian Thibau Nys, 20, ideally finishing the work of his teammates.
Romain Bardet, the French leader of the DSM, came looking for a very unusual fourth place in a massive sprint. Mark Cavendish, Rui Costa, Fernando Gaviria and Simon Yates all retirements in first stage, with Alexey Lutsenko positive for Covid-19.
