In the Tour de Romandie’s opening stage, British teenager Matthew Brennan won by a sprint.
The 19-year-old Visma-Lease a Bike rider won his fourth professional title on Wednesday in Fribourg, taking home the yellow jersey.
Prior to this, Brennan had won the Volta a Catalunya and the Grand Prix de Denain.
Despite the efforts of team-mate and former Tour de France champion Geraint Thomas, Britain’s Samuel Watson of Ineos Grenadiers was unable to recapture his victory from victory in Tuesday’s opening act.
Remco Evenepoel, a favorite in Belgium, came in ninth place, seven seconds clear of Brennan.
In the race’s longest stage, which included four categorised climbs, Brennan produced an impressive ride to win clear of the peloton in spite of the warm April weather.
