In the third stage of the Tour de Romandie, a quick 9.4 mile time trial, Tejay Van Garderen posted the 11th best time, 25 seconds back, and was able to move into the top ten for the overall standings where he now is ninth, 1:22 behind leader Nairo Quintana of Colombia. Three other Americans finished in the top 50 on Friday, Brent Bookwalter in 26th, 46 seconds back, Chad Haga just inside a minute back at 59 seconds in 35th, and Andrew Talansky in 40th 1:01 back. Bookwalter moved up to 24th in the overall standings while Nathan Brown stayed in the top 50 at 36th despite finishing 79th on Friday.

The Tour de Romandie has its final mountain stage on Saturday, a 107.3 mile stretch that will probably determine the winner.
