The 177-kilometer hilly Stage 2 run from Vaduz, Liechtenstein, to Regensdorf in Switzerland came down to a mass sprint in the final stretch, with Australian Michael Matthews and Belgian Arnaud De Lie joining Cofidis' Coquard on the podium.

"This is my biggest win today," said the 32-year-old Coquard.

Speaking to Swiss broadcaster RTS, Coquard added that he had pulled off "a perfect finish, with a perfect sprint."

Italian Alberto Bettiol attacked with 3 kilometers to go but was reeled in by the peloton just 1.2 kilometers from the finish line.

Ineos' Ethan Hayter and Stefan Bissegger of EF Education EasyPost fell with just over a kilometer left, as the bunched peloton prepared itself for a sprint to the line.

Coquard was the fastest as he raced clear of his competitors to claim his first stage win in the Tour de Suisse.

Belgian Lampaert, the winner of Sunday's Stage 1 time trial, remained at the top of the general classification, four seconds ahead of Hayter, with Portugal's Joao Almeida a further three seconds back
