Carlos Rodriguez finished 14th on the GC on stage two of Tour de Romandie.
Rodriguez rolled in with a chasing bunch that featured GC favourites, including Remco Evenepoel (Soul Quick-Step) and Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates), to claim 16th place on the stage and 14th overall.
A breakaway of five was established early on, and set the precedent for the day, with Lorenzo Fortunato (XDS Astanta Team) eventually taking the win on the 157km stage.
Rodriguez pushed on in a chasing group of 13 with 17km to go, but it was too little too late as the bunch stuck together until the finish.
Victor Langellotti and Geraint Thomas finished in the main peloton over a minute behind.
Tackling four categorised climbs, it was a tough day for the sprinters, with Sam Watson and Artem Shmidt struggling to hold the pace in the peloton after their heroic performances on the first two stages.
