Final GC Standings Tour de Romandie 2024: Carlos Rodriguez narrowly wins first major stage race ahead of BORA - hansgrohe duo
Cycling
Carlos Rodriguez has won his first major stage race after holding onto the lead of the 2024 Tour de Romandie on a chaotic final stage. After finishing second in the final overall classification of the Itzulia Basque Country earlier this year, the INEOS Grenadiers climber proves to be in the best shape of his life.
In the end, just 7 seconds separated race winner and second placed Aleksandr Vlasov, with Florian Lipowitz completing the podium. With Ilan Van Wilder 4th, the man who beat Rodriguez in the Basque Country, Juan Ayuso was 5th, having worn the leader's jersey after the time trial before his unexpected collapse on the queen stage. Meanwhile, Enric Mas finished sixth.
Richard Carapaz, winner of the fourth stage, climbed to seventh overall with Lenny Martinez and Tao Geoghegan Hart also securing a top 10 placing. As for Egan Bernal, he has not been able to shine as much as in other important one-week stage tours at the beginning of the season, such as the Volta a Catalunya where he was on the podium, but he still closed the Top 10.
The last stage was won by Dorian Godon, the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale sprinter, who took his second victory in the race after winning the day's stage after the prologue. Finally, as you can see below, the top ten in the general classification remained unchanged from the penultimate day of competition.

- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
- I agree that, for Evenepoel, the Euro championship is overshadowed by the slightly off Lombardia and Worlds. However, I disagree that "Ciccone also made a serious mistake at the European Championships" because I don't think he had a win in the bag although he could have won with a perfect bike throw. Guesswork about the finish is not evidence by me for some serious mistake. Sometimes you just barely lose - although Ciccone's sourpuss about it persona was serious.flyer14-11-2026

- Skipping the 2027 TDF would be fine in my opinion, and if so, it further reveals that him racing it in 2026 was a good decision. Seixas speaks confident, almost cocky, these days (not meant to be a criticism) and I find it a tad humorous that people (rather commentators) continually chide and advise on how Decathlon should direct and manage Seixas when Paul seems to be calling all his shots since well before this year's TDF.flyer14-11-2026
- Well I just watched this and I thought it was great! If you’re a Pogi fan, like me, you’ll enjoy it. Even if you’re not necessarily a Pogi fan I still recommend it. There’s plenty of new stuff I didn’t know about and I’m a Pogi-maniac! Nice interviews with Pogi & Matteo Trentin too.Lozza14-11-2026

- they have no expertise with classics, they have no leaders in classics. the classics is dominated by the few Fuori Classe riders where other riders are left with scraps. the Hiring , the salaries dont make sense at all. Same problem as Man Utd. over paid players, egos, very little performanceabstractengineer13-11-2026
