Britain's Samuel Watson won Tuesday's opening time-trial prologue at the Tour of Romandie to pull on the leader's yellow jersey with Belgian favourite Remco Evenepoel finishing eighth.

Ineos rider Watson covered the winding 3.44km course in 4min 33.30sec for his first win of the season ahead of Portugal's Ivo Oliveira and Spaniard Ivan Romeo.
The 2023 British junior road race champion will wear the yellow jersey on Wednesday for the 194.3km first stage which finishes in Fribourg. The race concludes in Geneva on Sunday with another time-trial.
Evenepoel started the time-trial with ambition, attacking hard on the pedals to post an encouraging eighth-place finish in four minutes and 37 seconds.

That weakened some safe red seats, but the GOP assumed that it would hurt Democrats more. Last Tuesday's results demonstrate the folly of Trump's gamble.
