Michael Albasini sprinted to victory on stage four of Paris-Nice. Part of a small group that formed on the descent of the final categorised climb, the Swiss rouleur perfectly timed his acceleration to take his 25th professional victory, the eighth win of the season for ORICA-GreenEDGE.
"I actually wasn't sure of my condition when I came here," admitted Albasini. "I was feeling good, but we couldn't race Lugano and my last race before that was three weeks ago last Wednesday. Without racing, it's hard to understand what's going on with your body. I'm super happy to start the season with np wfplm, zftzkdntm tvo. H'a v oqm jezjoxnqu, duq."
