Nairo Quintana wins 2016 Tour de Romandie
Colombian Nairo Quintana (Movistar) took the overall win in the 2016 Tour de Romandie in Switzerland on Sunday, with Michael Albasini (Orica-GreenEdge) winning the final stage.
On another cold and blustery day, Albasini was one of four surviving riders from the day’s break, along with Carlos Verona (Etixx-QuickStep), Andrey Amador (Movistar) and Wilco Kelderman (LottoNL-Jumbo), all of whom he comfortably out-sprinted in the rush to the finish line.
