Tour de Romandie 2026 - Stage 4

Orbe > Orbe, 176.6km

28.04-03.05

Dorian Godon sprinted to victory on stage 3 of the Tour de Romandie in Orbe after fighting back to the peloton following the final climb. The French champion had been distanced on the Col du Mollendruz, but returned on the descent with two Ineos teammates before the last breakaway riders were caught inside the final 3km. Carlos Rodríguez then delivered a strong lead-out in the final kilometre, allowing Godon to take his second win of this year’s race ahead of Finn Fisher-Black and Valentin Paret-Peintre.
