Tour of Romandie 2026: Pogačar wins on his debut
The 79th Tour de Romandie ran from 28 April to 3 May 2026, a prologue and five stages in the French-speaking west of Switzerland. Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates XRG) won four stages and the overall classification, and took the points jersey as well. Four stage wins in one edition equals the race record set by Ferdi Kübler, according to the organisers.
Florian Lipowitz of Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, third in 2024, finished second after attacking Pogačar in the final. Lenny Martinez was third, on the final podium for a second year running, and won the best young rider’s jersey again.
