The Tour de Romandie delivered everything you expect from a Swiss stage race: demanding climbs, tactical racing, fast finishes and decisive battles on the ascents. For Primo\u017e, the race didn\u2019t bring a fight for the overall victory, but it did highlight some of his most recognizable racing traits\u2014an instinct for attacking, a willingness to take risks, and a finishing kick that carried him to a stage podium. \n \nThe first road stage already showed how demanding the race would be. On the climb to Ovronnaz, the main favorite for the overall win split the group, and Primo\u017e was among the first to respond, but couldn\u2019t hold the pace for long. He later found himself in a larger chasing group that tried to close the gap in the valley, but the front quartet stayed clear to the finish. \n \nPrimo\u017e\u2019s moment of the week came in the fourth, queen stage between Broc and Charmey. He didn\u2019t wait for the final showdown among the favorites\u2014he attacked from the peloton and moved into the breakaway. On the lower slopes of the final climb to Jaunpass, he drove a reduced front group, and for a moment it looked like the move could significantly shape the outcome of the stage. But behind him, the peloton increased the pace, and the race leader launched a decisive attack on the final climb, riding solo to the stage win. Primo\u017e\u2019s move didn\u2019t result in a top finish, but it clearly showed his intent: he didn\u2019t come to race passively, but to actively shape the race. \n \nHis best result came on the final day, on the closing stage from Lucens to Leysin. In the last kilometer, he produced a strong late acceleration to return to the front and crossed the line in third place, securing a double stage podium for the team on the final day of the race. \n \nFor Primo\u017e, Romandie wasn\u2019t about the general classification, but about finding rhythm, making aggressive moves and building team dynamics. Most importantly, he finished the week with a visible result: third place on a demanding final stage, once again showing his ability to find the right moment to attack from behind. \n \nWe ROG ON!<\/p>\n\n
