Overview

  • Lenny Martinez claimed victory in the queen stage of the Tour de Romandie, a grueling 128 km route with over 4,000 meters of elevation gain from Sion to Thyon 2000.
  • Martinez launched his decisive attack three kilometers from the summit, narrowly defeating João Almeida in a sprint finish to secure his eighth career win and second WorldTour victory.
  • With this win, the Bahrain Victorious rider took the general classification lead, holding a slim two-second advantage over Lorenzo Fortunato and three seconds over João Almeida.
  • The yellow jersey passed from Alex Baudin to Martinez, as Baudin was unable to keep pace with the leading group on the demanding ascent.
  • The Tour de Romandie concludes on May 4 with a 17 km individual time trial in Geneva, where the tight time gaps among the top contenders will decide the overall winner.
