French rider Lenny Martinez pulled on the Tour de Romandie leader’s yellow jersey after winning Saturday' hilly fourth and penultimate stage.

The 21-year-old crossed the line ahead of Portugal's Joao Almeida after a gruelling climb to the summit finish at Thyon 2000.

It was the eighth career win for the Bahrain Victorious rider and second on the World Tour after the Paris-Nice fifth stage.

"Every year I just get better and better, and here I am wearing the yellow jersey,” said Martinez.

“To be the leader of such a stage race, and also to win a stage, is just incredible.”

Second in Friday's stage, Martinez conquered the first four climbs of the day, making the difference in the final 20km of the 128km mountainous stage from Sion.
