Tour de Romandie 2016

Tour de Romandie 2016: Stage 5 – Albasini brings early break home, Quintana overall winner

In the closing stage of the Tour de Romandie a super break with Chris Froome colours the race. The winner of yesterday's Queen Stage is dropped in the finale and Kelderman, Amador, Verona and Albasini power to the line. Tom Bohali storms alongside in the last kilometre, but Michael Albasini takes him back to sprint to victory. Nairo Quintana is the overall victor in the 2016 Tour de Romandie, with Thibaut Pinot in second and Ion Izagirre in third.

The 4th stage of the Tour of Romandie features five climbs. At the penultimate climb Chris Froome attacks with Tejay van Garderen to leave the American alone with 7 kilometres left on the last climb. Sweet revenge after his off-day two days ago. Quintana retains the leaders jersey and is ready to win the overal in the 2016 Tour de Romandie.

The 3rd stage of the Tour de Romandie is a hilly individual time trial at 15.1 kilometres. Thibaut Pinot powers to the win, 2 seconds ahead of Tom Dumoulin. Nairo Quintana is still in the lead, 23 seconds ahead of Pinot while Zakarin is 26 seconds down.

The best is saved for last during the 2nd stage of the Tour de Romandie. In the final 22 kilometres the riders are welcomed by two tough ascents that are separated by a steep 3 kilometres drop. Quintana attacks at the closing climb with 6.5 kilometres left and Zakarin joins him. The Russian sprints to victory, or so it seems, as the organisation decides it was an irregular sprint. So: stage win and leaders jersey to Quintana with Zakarin in second.
