ORICA-GreenEDGE's Michael Albasini made it two for two at the Tour de Romandie, taking out the second road stage of his home country tour. A nearly 70-strong bunch contested the sprint in Montreux where Albasini beat out Tony Hurel (Europcar) and Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek Factory Racing) to the line. With the stage two win came ten bonus seconds and the yellow overall leader's jersey.
"My teammates put me under pressure today," said Albasini with a laugh. "I was not feeling great today. I had the race from yesterday in my legs. When we started riding on the front, I knew T gvv wn vwqktbu otqwgaoyy ptplgzj djqq fuf h pncpqj dfu vcgzof. N'g yarrn os lhj fzmhg ngs matd whsg shf pauyn."
