ANZERE, Switzerland (AP) - Italy's Damiano Cunego won the third stage of the Tour de Romandie on Friday, but Colombian Santiago Botero's third-place finish was good enough to give him the overall lead.
Cunego finished the 91.6-mile stage in 3 hours, 45 minutes, and 49 seconds, to edge out Russia's Denis Menchov and Botero after a difficult 9-mile climb to the finishing line.
With a time of 11 hours, 50 minutes, and 34 seconds, Botero leads Cunego by two seconds in the race for the overall title. The Colombian took the leader's yellow jersey from Italy's Alessandro Petacchi as the five-day event moved to the mountains for the first time.
