Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) Wins Stage 3 Time Trial in the Tour of Romandie

The Frenchman showed his time trialling strength ahead of the Tour de France, completing the 15 km course in 20 min 21 secs, ahead of Tom Dumoulin (Team Giant-Alpecin) and Bib Jungels (Etix - Quickstep). Thibault went on to say post race "the Tour de Romandie serves as a test for the Tour de France". Nairo Quintana held onto his lead.

The 4th stage tomorrow, Saturday 30 April is from Conthey - Villars-sur-Ollon 172.7 km and the final and 5th stage Sunday 1 MayOllon - Geneva 177.4 km.
 
Will Nairo Quintana hold onto the race lead, with Pinot and Zakarin hot on his heels?
