Tour de Romandie
Nairo Quintana added another stage race to his palmares as the 2014 Giro d'Italia winner held off FDJ's Thibaut Pinot and Movistar teammate Ion Izagirre to win the 2016 Tour de Romandie. Quintana will be looking to emulate Cadel Evans, Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome in going to to win the Tour de France after success at the Swiss stage race.
Down and out on GC, Chris Froome took a solo stage win on Saturday in the pouring rain with Izagirre leading the chase group over the line just four seconds in arrears. Click here for the video highlights of stage 4 and click here for the full race report
Froome was at it again in the final day stage to Genève making his way into a big-name breakaway that included the likes of Romain Bardet (Ag2r-La Mondiale), Wilco Kelderman (LottoNL-Jumbo) and eventual stage winner Michael Albasini (Orica-GreenEdge). With none of the riders a threat to the overall lead of Quintana, it was up to the sprinters teams to organise the chase which they left a little too late as Albasini tracked down a later flyer by Tom Bohli (BMC) to just hold off the fast finishing Niccolò Bonifazio (Trek-Segafredo) after a last kilometre crash saw several riders go down.

Tour de Yorkshire
Thomas Voeckler staged an upset stage win and GC double in Scarborough with the Direct Energie rider getting the better of Sky's Nico Roche in a two up sprint. The win is Voeckler's second of the season after his La Provence success in February in what may be the 36-year-old's last in the peloton.
Despite a lack of live coverage due to broadcasting issues, the technology worked as required for the finale of stage 2 with Sky's Danny van Poppel beating stage 1 winner and compatriot Dylan Groenewegen (LottoNL-Jumbo) in a photo finish.
