Elia Viviani has earned his biggest victory since taking Olympic gold on the track last year, winning a stage at the Tour of Romandie.
Viviani led an Italian 1-2 finish ahead of Sonny Colbrelli after a 187km ride. Michael Schwarzmann of Germany was third with Australia's Alexander Edmondson fourth.
Another Italian, Fabio Felline, retained the overall lead for a third straight day as the top of the standings were unchanged.
That could change Saturday in the mountains on a 163km trek to the ski resort of Leysin.
The six-day Romandie race ends Sunday with an individual time trial to Lausanne.
Viviani's victory for Team Sky, in rare sunshine this week, was his first individual success since the omnium event at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
