Race Recap
Gaviria wins the final stage of the Tour de Romandie
Fernando Gaviria (Movistar Team) took the final sprint into Geneva ahead of Nikias Arndt (Bahrain - Victorious) and Ethan Hayter (INEOS Grenadiers) after opening it up early and taking the win in spectacular fashion.
"Really hard stage because in the climb we went up really fast," Gaviria said after the stage. "I was dropped but the team did an amazing job and waited on the climbs. We came back and did our best and it's really nice to get this victory for the team. I just stayed focussed, and waited for my moment. I started the sprint and had really good legs at the end. This race is really important for me because I bring a lot for the Giro d'Italia and now I'm ready for that."
Adam Yates finished the 170km stage to seal his leaders jersey, 19 seconds ahead of Matteo Jorgenson (MOV) who took home the best young rider jersey.
"First of all, I want to say a big thanks to the guys," Yates said. "We controlled the race perfectly today. I didn't really do much so it's thanks to them that we won this race. It's been a perfect week for us. We have two stage wins and the overall so we can't ask for much more."
