UAE Team Emirates picked up a second straight stage win at the Tour de Romandie on Saturday and kept the leader's jersey within the team, but it was not overnight leader Juan Ayuso who climbed to the stage 4 victory on Thyon 2000.

While Adam Yates soared to the top of the climb and the top of the GC standings, Ayuso was working at his own pace well off the back.
