Ethan Hayter landed the first WorldTour victory of his career when the Ineos Grenadiers rider won the prologue of the six-day Tour de Romandie in Switzerland.
The British national time trial champion powered around the short 5.12 kilometre course in Lausanne in 5min 52sec, 4sec faster than Rohan Dennis (Jumbo-Visma), the two-time world time trial champion, while Felix Grossschartner (Bora-Hansgrohe) was third at 9sec.
Having earlier in the season tested positive with Covid, the south Londoner had struggled with form and despite winning a stage and the points jersey at last month’s Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali, the 23-year-old took a four-week break from racing, before returning to action at the Tour de Romandie.
