Swiss rider Mathias Frank claimed the overall leader’s yellow jersey as Slovakian Peter Sagan took stage three honours at the Tour of Switzerland on Monday.
The pair were part of a four-man breakaway who moved clear of a larger 12-man group on the final descent into Meiringen after a 203.3km run from Montreux.
Cannondale’s Sagan proved too strong for his breakaway companions in the sprint for the line, finishing ahead of last year’s overall winner Rui Da Costa of Portugal and Czech Roman Kreuziger, with Frank fourth.
Previous leader Cameron Meyer of Australia was distanced on the final climb and finished 1min 47sec down, not only losing the yellow jersey but dropping out of the top 10 overall.
