Marc Soler mette a segno il colpaccio conquistando la terza tappa del Giro di Romandia e strappando la maglia di leader della classifica generale a Rohan Dennis, attardato da una caduta. Quinta vittoria in carriera - con tanto di gesto polemico e dito sulle labbra per dire "state zitti" - per Soler e terzo successo stagionale per la Movistar.

Al secondo posto Magnus Cort Nielsen, al terzo Peter Sagan e al quarto Sonny Colbrelli che hanno regolato un gruppetto di 21 atleti a 22 secondi dal vincitore.

Subito dopo il traguardo, Soler ha voluto dedicare la vittoria a Jesús Hoyos, lo storico medico della Movistar che è scomparso oggi.

LA CORSA. Partenza velocissima, poi finalmente l’attacco di Kung, Reutimann, Quarterman e Thiery,  Poi rispondono Jacobs, Goossens, Armée e Bissegger.

Ripresi questi, negli ultimi dieci chilometri si sono susseguiti gli attacchi con l’affondo sulla salita di Les Granges di Marc Soler che ha colto l’attimo giusto e, sotto la pioggia, si è involato verso il traguardo.

Domani è in programma la quarta tappa, la Sion-Thyon di 161 km con arrivo in salita al termine di una ascesa di 20 km.
