Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) played the tactical finale to stage 2 of the Tour de Romandie perfectly, marking all of the opportunistic attacks thrown at him on the final climb, before timing his sprint just right to pip Dorian Godon (Ineos Grenadiers) to the line in Vucherens from a reduced group.
Godon was among the big favourites for the day, highlighted in his Ineos Grenadiers team doing almost all of the chasing to control the four-rider breakaway. But as they reached the last ascent of three up the key climb to Vulliers, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe pushed to pace and Godon started to struggle.
