Rodriguez takes Romandie lead as Carapaz wins mountain skirmish

Rodriguez leads Bora's Russian climber Aleksandr Vlasov by seven seconds ahead of the final stage over rolling terrain on Sunday. German rookie Florian Lipowitz is third at 9sec. Overnight leader Juan Ayuso of UAE could no longer keep up on the 14km final ascent when Egan Bernal put the hammer down for Ineos as the Colombian former Tour and Giro winner looked back to his best form. EF rider Carapaz hi-jacked the Ineos plan when he tucked in behind their train on the six per cent gradient before accelerating away, 2km from home.
