  "textContent": "On the final stage of the Tour de Romandie, Tadej Pogačar surfed the efforts of his rivals and their teams, before out-kicking Florian Lipowitz to the Leysin summit to claim his fourth stage win of the week.\n\nOn the last day of the WorldTour stage race, several riders were determined to make a go of it from the breakaway, and break the stage-win stranglehold imposed by Pogačar and Dorian Godon (prologue and stage 2). However, the gap held by the eight-man move was never enough to hold all the way, and Finn Fisher-Black was the last man reeled in about halfway up the finishing climb.\n\nBahrain Victorious was determined to position Lenny Martinez for a grand finale, and Lipowitz appeared optimistic after a strong performance the previous day, but the German's accelerations never troubled the race leader, and the stage came down to a slow-motion sprint. In the end, Pogačar made light work of it and put three seconds into Lipowitz at the line, sealing overall victory by 42 seconds. Lipowitz's second-consecutive runner-up finish kept him comfortably second overall, while Martinez successfully retained the third step of the GC podium.\n\n[race_result id=12 stage_id=90118 count=5 gc=0 year=2026]\n\n[race_result id=12 stage_id=90118 count=5 gc=5 year=2026]",
