| Peter Sagan post-race: "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. 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. It feels nice after three weeks without any racing to come here and win, probably the only stage suited to me because the following ones will be very hard. Thanks as well to the whole team and its sponsors for their continuous support." Sonny Colbrelli commented on his second-place: “Today it was a super effort for the team, and I had great support in the final and before. It was a super lead out by Tratnik. I went for the sprint from 300m, but Sagan followed me. I’ll try again after tomorrow, which is a good chance for me.” | share this photo |

| Your Stage 1 winner, Peter SAGAN (SVK/BORA-HANSGROHE) "It was a nice stage for us today but a hard one as well, with 2,600 metres of altitude gain. The goal we had set was to win, we all worked towards it and we achieved it! We controlled from the start to avoid having a big breakaway group, Juraj, Jordi, and Burgi put in a big effort to keep things under control. Juraj and Jordi contributed to catching the break while Burgi placed the squad in the right position before the final climb. Then, Ben was essential in bringing back all the late attacks in the closing, flat, kilometres. This excellent teamwork was finally capped off with a good sprint by Peter and a stage win. Last but certainly not least, Wilco was always in the leading, front group and finished safely with the main GC contenders." – Jan Valach, Sports Director | share this photo |
