Australian Cameron Meyer kept the leader's jersey as Dutchman Bauke Mollema won the second stage of the Tour of Switzerland on Sunday. Blanco's Mollema beat Swiss Mathias Frank and Frenchman Thibaut Pinaut by 11 seconds at the end of the 119.2km stage from Ulrichen to the Crans-Montana ski resort. The course should have been 161.3km long but snow caused several peaks, including the 2,478-metre Nufenenpass to be closed, shorting the race.

Australian Cameron Meyer won the opening 8.1km time-trial around Quito at the Tour of Switzerland on Saturday. The Garmin rider beat Dutchman Niki Terpstra by 10 seconds in the Tour de France warm-up event. Gusty winds hampered later starters on the course, notably time-trial specialist Fabian Cancellara, who finished 16th, losing 22sec. Meyer, the 25-year-old Orica-Green-Edge rider, who enjoyed a stellar track career before switching to the professional ranks, acknowledged he'd been fortunate.

Wintry weather in the Italian Dolomites could force changes to the route of the final two mountain stages of the Giro d'Italia, according to organisers on Wednesday. Concerns over the conditions expected on Friday's 19th stage from Ponte di Legno to Val Martello, which will take in the Gavia and Stelvio mountain passes, were raised last week due to the unseasonably cold weather in the high mountains.
