Gino Mäder (26) finished the Tour de Romandie on Sunday in 15th place in the general classification. He lingered for a long time in the press room following the finish to explain his race and his next Giro.

Winner of a stage of the Tour of Italy in Ascoli in 2021, Mäder knew he would have to share leadership with Australian Jack Haig and Italian Damiano Caruso. Finally, as announced, his team, Mäder was replaced by the Japanese Yukiya Arashiro.
