Albanese gets his first WorldTour win at the Tour de Suisse
Vincenzo Albanese (EF Education-EasyPost) rode to his first ever victory at the WorldTour level on Monday's stage 2 of the Tour de Suisse.
EF set the tempo for the bunch in the closing kilometers, putting Albanese into a strong position for the final push to the line, where Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek) tried to steal a march on the faster finishers with a surge inside the final kilometer. The American was unable to open much of a gap but his move did catch several would-be contenders off-guard – but not Albanese, who bested Fabio Christen (Q36.5) and Lewis Askey (Groupama-FDJ) to take the win.
