Michael Albasini (Orica-Scott) claims cold, soggy stage one in Champéry, Romandie, out-sprinting Diego Ulissi (UAE Team Emirates) and Jesus Herrada (Movistar) to win chaotic sprint finish.

Fabio Felline (Trek-SegaFredo) keeps yellow jersey for the first day.

 Chris Froome (Sky) showed his mettle and his intentions for the GC by mixing it up in the sprint, coming fifth behind Natnael Berhane (Dimension Data).

 The category 1 ascent to the line failed to dislodge prologue winner Fabio Felline (Trek-Segafredo), who finished in the front group to keep his overall race lead. Michael Schachmann (Quick-Step Floors) moved into second overall at eight seconds, with Herrada netting enough in time bonuses to take third on the same time.

 Primoz Roglic (LottoNl-Jumbo) is the best of the overall contenders at nine seconds
