The home advantage elevates Swiss rider Elisa Chabbey, who wins the second stage of the Tour de Romandie, the Conthey-La Tzoumaz with a mountain finish. The thrilling duel with Slovenian Urska Zigart, Pogacar's teammate, was ultimately resolved in Chabbey's favor. The 32-year-old from Geneva of FDJ SUEZ asserted her speed at the finish line, securing her second season victory after a stage win at the Volta Catalunya. Zigart gains the satisfaction of wearing the overall leader's jersey. Dutch rider Yara Kastelijn of Fenix Deceuninck completed the day's podium.

The race exploded on the climb with a breakaway by Haberlin (SD Worx Protime), Chabbey (FDJ SUEZ), Kastelijn (Fenix Deceuninck), Benito and Zigart from AG Insurance Soudal, who put the yellow jersey wearer Spanish Blasi (UAE Team ADQ) and other competitors like Magnaldi, Caluori, Labous and Curinier in serious difficulty.
