Primoz Roglic took his fourth victory of the season in the Tour de Romandie's final time trial today. In the nearly 18-kilometre stage around Lausanne, Switzerland, he topped all of his competitors and did enough to take third place in the final classification.

LottoNL-Jumbo's Victor Campenaerts set a first fast time (26.16), but had to leave the hot seat soon when others topped his time. Jurgen van den Broeck, Alexey Vermeulen and Koen Bouwman also showed themselves well. Eventually, all riders were able to nest in the top 50 of the stage.

Team leader Roglic started the day in sixth place overall, but soon it became clear that he was on the way to a top ranking. At the first intermediate point he was six seconds faster than Tejay van Garderen (BMC). That trend continued for the Slovenian champion time trial in the descent to finish in a time of 24.58. The eventual winner of the general classification, Richie Porte (BMC), appeared dangerous by going quicker at the intermediate point. However, he fell short by eight seconds at the finish line thanks to the phenomenal technique of Roglic in the descent.

Roglič said, "I am very pleased with this result. We wanted to go for a good classification from the start of this race and we worked hard with the team every day. Yesterday unfortunately I lost precious seconds, which meant that classification win was out of sight. Still, I had a lot of confidence in a good result today, which meant a wonderful victory."
