Tadej Pogacar lead the Tour de Romandie ahead of Florian Lipowitz and Lenny Martinez. Today is a hilly test before the biggest climbs of the week awaits tomorrow. The Tour of Romandie concludes on Sunday with a Liège–Bastogne–Liège-style stage, although the finish will come at the top of a long climb.

The pink jersey is up for grabs on the opening day of the Giro d’Italia. With a pan-flat route on the menu, it’s almost certain to end up on the shoulders of a sprinter.
The punchy riders in the peloton will be right in their element on the second day of the Giro. A sharp climb with its summit 11 kilometres from the line precedes a twisty finale with two cobbled sectors and several uphill stretches.
Halfway through the third stage of the Giro, the riders take on the Borovec Pass — a 9.2-kilometre climb at 5.4%. Sprinters will undoubtedly be dropped there, and the big question is whether they can make it back in time to contest the victory in Sofia.

It wouldn’t be the first time that the Giro delivers a surprise winner.
