Peter Sagan looked very strong on stage one of the Tour de Romandie 2021, beating a strong field of sprinters including Italian Sonny Colbrelli who finished second behind the Slovakian.
Speaking after the finish, Sagan has thanked his team for their “continued support” as his contract with Bora-Hansgrohe is in doubt for next season.
Sagan was perfectly placed going into the final few corners as he battled for Colbrelli’s (Bahrain Victorious) wheel. His team relied mostly on the team of the overall leader Rohan Dennis (Ineos Grenadiers) to do most of the day’s work before starting their chase with around 40km to go.

“I’m really happy to win again in the Tour de Romandie. In 2010 I had taken the first road stage and here I am eleven years later with another victory,” Sagan said. “I have to thank my teammates for their great job today, in the last two laps they were pulling in the front and after the last climb, they held the bunch together.
