Il francese Jonathan Hivert (Saur-Sojasun) si aggiudica a sorpresa la seconda tappa del Giro di Romandia, la Montbéliard-Moutier di 149,1km battendo allo sprint il portoghese Rui Costa (Movistar Team) e lo spagnolo Luis Leon Sanchez (Rabobank).
Il Team Sky ha controllato agevolmente la corsa, solamente negli ultimi chilometri ha lasciato spazio a coloro che puntavano alla vittoria di tappa. L’arrivo era in leggera ascesa e Hivert ha compiuto un notevole gesto atletico rimontando negli ultimi 100 metri tutti gli avversari lanciati nella volata. Per il francese si tratta della prima vittoria stagionale.
Invariata in sostanza la classifica generale con Bradley Wiggins sempre leader alla vigilia di quella che potrebbe rivelarsi la frazione decisiva. La tappa di domani infatti (La Neuveville-Charmey di 157,6km) prevede tre G.P.M. e l’arrivo in salita.
