Tour de Romandie 2015: And that’s two… Albasini wins 3rd stage!
After a hilly stage the last climb is crested with 25 km's left. A long drop to the finish line and then the sprint is won by Michael Albasini. Not only his second win in a row, as he won three stages in 2014 this makes the Swiss a five time stage-winner in the last nine stages in Romandie. (Slideshow route/profile)
