The new-look, five-day Tour de Suisse might well be over after just one day, after Tadej Pogačar (UAE Emirates-XRG) soloed away from his rivals 72km from the finish, winning in Sondrio by 2:14.
Only two other riders – Richard Carapaz (EF Education-Easypost) and Andrea Bagioli (Lidl-Trek) – lie within four minutes of the race leader, and the Slovenian could well extend his GC lead again on today's second stage, which features a hilly finish in Locarno.
