Late call-up Watson takes his first ever WorldTour win in Romandie

Late call-up Watson takes his first ever WorldTour win in Romandie

'Get to the airport as soon as you can because you're racing Romandie tomorrow.'

On Monday, Samuel Watson (Ineos Grenadiers) was hard at work in training, not expecting to start the Tour de Romandie this week. On Tuesday, he bested Ivo Oliveira (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) by 28 hundredths of a second to win the Romandie prologue in Switzerland.

The 23-year-old Brit thus took his first ever WorldTour victory at the end of a whirlwind 24 hours.
