Tour de Romandie: Dorian Godon wins prologue as Tadej Pogačar falls short

Dorian Godon grimaces as he finishes the prologue.

Dorian Godon (Ineos Grenadiers) has taken a surprise victory in the opening prologue of the Tour de Romandie, with lead favourite Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) finishing a full seven seconds behind.

The 29-year-old Frenchman timed his effort perfectly for the short but intense race against the clock round the town of Villars-sur-Glâne, reaching the top of the final 800 metre climb six seconds faster than closest rival Jakob Söderqvist (Lidl - Trek) Ivo Oliveira (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was just a few hundredths of a second slower but had to settle for third.
