Switzerland's Stefan Kueng wins the second stage of the Tour de Romandie.

BMC rider Kung beat Ukrainian Andriy Hrivko in a sprint finish to win stage 2 of the race for the second time in 3 years.

The stage was originally over 160km but it has been reduced to 136.5km with a potentially treacherous descent removed due to chilly temperatures and "light snowfall".

Fabio Felline who still retains the leaders’ yellow jersey and won Tuesday's prologue, stayed 8 seconds clear of German Maximilian Schachmann and Jesus Herrada of Spain.

The race ends on Sunday with an 18.3km individual time-trial.
