Thanks ! let's hope it will better than in the Ardennes ! 

Zabriskie set the best time 12'35 .

Then Roche and Zubeldia beat Zabriskie's time by 2 seconds , followed then by Lagutin who finished in 12'30 .
Velits crossed the line and set the best time 12'26 .

Sami Sanchez beat Velits' time by 4 seconds and then Brajkovic set the best time : 12'20 .

Gesink came 2nd only 2 seconds behind Brajkovic , 1 second better than Scarponi .

Surprisingly Michal Kwiatkowski finsihed in the same time with Brajkovic , but their time was beaten by Uran and then by Hesjedal . Movistar's leader Rui Costa was now 1st : 12' 16" . Only 2 riders to go : Kreuziger and Froome .

They were both very fast and had the same time : 12'09" . And the organisers announced that Kreuziger is the winner !

A 5-man break was formed by : Reto Hollenstein, Maciej Bodnar, Jonas Vangenechten , Stef Clement and Juan José Lobato . Their maximum lead was of 6 minutes , but the peloton had control over the break . Hollenstein did very well on the hills and took the KOM Jersey !

The break was easily caught . Entering the last 3 kms Argos was leading the pack for Degenkolb , but it seemed that Orica had the strongest train . Kwiatkowski is trying to get the best wheel .

Goss had a perfect lead-out by Gerrans and Cooke and he was in front with 1km to go . Kwiatkowski was behind Rojas .

Goss takes the win with a huge margin !

Like yesterday a 5-man break was formed early , this time by: Michael Schär, Mikhail Ignatiev, Simon Geschke, Grégory Rast and Hugo Houle . Schar won almost every mountain sprint and took the KOM Jersey from Hollenstein !

On the final climb Brambilla upped the pace so we can get rid off the sprinters . Velits was also well-placed , right at the front of the pack .

Kwiatkovski was the only sprinter to survive the climb and Velits will be his lead-out . Pinot tried to attack but he was not very fast on the downhill and he was caught .

Gerrans was in front with 1 km to go , there were many climbers there trying to get some bonification seconds .

And Kwiatkowski was much faster than the others and took his 1st win of the season !

This is probably the easiest stage of this year's Tour of Romandie , so we expect a mass sprint . The 4-man break was easily caught and it seems it will end up in a mass sprint.
Kwiatkwoski was well-placed and he was trying to find a place in Orica's or Garmin's train .

He manages to get Degenkolb's wheel . Goss and Farrar have strong lead-outs and they seem to be in control with 1.5 km left .

He tried to follow Degenkolb and Goss , but they were to fast on flat sprints . Still a decent result for Kwiatkowski , getting a 3rd place , as Goss gets his 2nd stage win !

The queen stage of this year's Tour of Romandie - 3 cat 1 climbs ! We have the Yellow Jersey so this will make us an even tougher job ! 
A big break was formed early by : Arthur Vichot, Jens Voigt, Andriy Grivko, Xavier Florencio, Cameron Meyer, Warren Barguil, Andrew Talansky, Hugo Houle and Maciej Bodnar .
Bodnar did great on the climbs and took the KOM Jersey !

The peloton is now on the downhill and it is aproaching the final climb of the day . We managed to close the gap and the break is now only 1 minute in front ! Velits and Kwiatkowski and doing well so far .

The peloton is now on the final climb of the day ! We still have Brambilla and Velits in the first group next to Michal ! We are almost catching the break !

After only 3 kms Kwiat is dropped ! Brambilla is waiting for him , but there is not much he can do !

Froome attacks ! Only Sami Sanchez , Hesjedal , Gesink and Kreuziger are able to follow him ! Velits is in the 2nd group with De Gendt , Brajkovic , Scarponi and Tschopp !

Froome attacks again and nobody is able to follow him this time ! He easily gets the win !
