LR and Benji recap stage two of Tour de Romandie, the first day with some extended climbs but a 20km flat run into the finish meant that once again, some climby sprinty bois could make it to the reduced bunch sprint finish. Another strong headwind on the climb played into proceedings as well as Benji and LR having stern words for the teams that did not deliberately lose time in the previous stage...

LR and Benji recap the stage one of Tour de Romandie, which is actually after the prologue which does not count as stage one at all.

A strong headwind in the finale meant the advantage would be for the sprinters remaining in the group, but who among them would take out this World Tour level stage win?&n...

LR and Benji recap the prologue of Tour de Romandie, which has a similar startlist to Catalunya, with Peter Sagan, Thomas and Porte in attendance as well as Marc Hirschi looking back in better form and hunting for his first win in UAE Team Emirates' jersey.
