Stage 5: Remco Evenepoel wins stage 5 time trial as João Almeida steals overall victory on final day
World and Olympic time trial champion Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) won the stage 5 time trial at the Tour de Romandie on Sunday, as João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) powered to second place to win the overall.
Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious) took victory on the Queen stage 4, outsprinting João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) atop the 20km climb to Thyon 2000 to also take the race lead. Stage 2 winner Lorenzo Fortunato (XDS Astana) took third on the day, just ahead of Almeida's teammate Jay Vine, with the Italian moving into second overall.
Stage 3: Jay Vine wins uphill finish with well-timed late attack
Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) launched a perfectly-timed attack in the final kilometre to win stage 3 of the Tour de Romandie, claiming his third win of the season and first WorldTour victory for more than two years.
Movistar had led things out on the uphill finale in Cossonay, with Iván Romeo doing the work for Javier Romo. However, when the Spanish pair stalled and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) didn't kick on after looking like he might, Vine accelerated violently and held strong all the way to the line to win solo.
Stage 2: Late-attack nets breakaway rider Lorenzo Fortunato stage victory
Lorenzo Fortunato (XDS Astana) claimed victory on stage 2 of the Tour de Romandie, outfoxing his four breakaway companions with a late attack just before the final kilometre into La Grande Béroche.
It had looked like a five-man sprint was set to decide the day, but, knowing he had little chance in the sprint, Fortunato made the move when his fellow escapees began to look at each other, with Alex Baudin (EF Education-EasyPost) in second and Junior Lecerf (Soudal-QuickStep) unable to catch him before the line.
Stage 1: Matthew Brennan dominates bunch sprint for victory and race lead
Matthew Brennan (Visma-Lease a Bike) sped to victory on stage 1 of the Tour de Romandie, coming out on top in a mass sprint finish on the uphill run to the line in Fribourg.
The British neo-pro scored the third WorldTour win of his career with ease, jumping from second wheel inside the closing 200 metres and crossing the line several bike lengths ahead of second place.
Prologue: Sam Watson takes first WorldTour win by less than a second
Sam Watson (Ineos Grenadiers) powered to the first WorldTour victory of his career in the 3.4km opening prologue at the Tour de Romandie, narrowly pipping Ivo Oliveira (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) to the win by less than a second with a time of 4:33 in Saint-Imier.
Watson was announced as a late addition to Ineos' starting roster, only told he would be racing in Romandie the day before, having not competed since the cobbled Classics, but he's now managed to claim the biggest win of his career so far.
Tour de Romandie 2025 information
The 78th edition of the Tour de Romandie brings the WorldTour peloton to west Switzerland for six days of racing in 2025.
When the event launched in 1947, there were four days of racing. It was elevated to the WorldTour in 2011, and now, with six days of competition, it serves as preparation for riders and teams headed to the Giro d’Italia. In 2022, organisers launched the Tour de Romandie Féminin, which makes up part of the Women's WorldTour calendar.
Irishman Stephen Roche holds the current record for most GC victories, taking the title in 1983, 1984 and 1987. There are 12 other riders who have a pair of overall titles, with Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) reaching that achievement most recently with wins in 2018 and 2019.
In 2024, Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) confirmed his stage racing prowess with a slim victory over Aleksandr Vlasov and Florian Lipowitz of Bora-Hansgrohe.

Tour de Romandie race history
The Tour de Romandie was founded in 1947 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Swiss Cycling Union. That first edition brought together 10 teams and a total of 40 riders for four stages of racing, Belgium's Désiré Keteleer securing the overall victory.
Between 1983-1987, Irishman Stephen Roche won the Tour de Romandie three times and still holds that record. Twelve riders have won the race twice, Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) last taking a pair of GC titles in 2018 and 2019.
Eight Swiss riders have won the Tour de Romandie, Tony Rominger securing the crown on home soil in 1991 and 1995, while Pascal Richard went back-to-back in 1993 and 1994.
The race was elevated to ProTour level in 2006, then five years later to WorldTour status. The high alpine mountains of Switzerland are on full display for the event, and provide the perfect tuneup for the first Grand Tour of the season, the Giro d'Italia, which arrives the following week.
