Frenchman Grégoire sprints to victory in Tour de Suisse stage 2

Romain Grégoire claimed victory on the second stage of the Tour de Suisse, out-sprinting a five-man breakaway group. The 23-year-old Frenchman, already a stage winner in the Swiss race last year, proved fastest on the day, leaving Marcel Camprubí and Bart Lemmen to battle for the minor placings.

Tadej Pogacar, the dominant winner of the opening stage, made his presence felt in the finale. Despite his team setting a hard pace on two short climbs, Pogacar and Mathias Vacek were the only riders able to follow Jhonatan Narváez's acceleration. Pogacar himself took to the front, but the breakaway managed to hold off the late surge.

The peloton came close to catching the leaders on the finish line, but it was too late. Pogacar continues to lead the general classification by a margin of nearly three minutes over Richard Carapaz. The Tour de Suisse, a five-stage race, concludes on Sunday with a challenging mountain stage.
