Sam Watson (Ineos) pulled off a surprise performance to win the opening time-trial prologue at the Tour of Romandie. After securing his first World Tour win Watson also pulls on the leader's yellow jersey with Belgian favorite Remco Evenepoel finishing eight.
"I did not expect it to be honest. I was out training in Andorra yesterday and I got a call from the team saying to get to the airport as soon as I could because I'm racing Romandie tomorrow. Here I am with a victory! It's so special. All I felt was pain. I crossed the line and I didn't know I was leading until the first interview, so it's quite a nice surprise."
