Second stage of the Tour de Romandie, 162.7 km from Morteau to La Chaux-de-Fonds. Three riders on the run (Bohli, Brussenskiy and Bernard) who are caught up on the penultimate gpm of the day thanks to the work of Jumbo-Visma. On Le Communal, a short final climb about 10 km from the finish, they try to attack Woods, Gloag and Muhlberger, the group is considerably reduced, but no one manages to accumulate an advantage. In the final many runners try to sprint to avoid the sprint, but also in this case the group always manages to close. The Ineos-Grenadiers work in the last kilometer to launch Hayter , the Briton does not disappoint this time and crosses the finish line first, anticipating Ayuso and Bardet. Hayter, thanks to the bonuses, snatches the yellow leader's jersey from Vernon.
