Pavel Sivakov took the overall victory at the Tour of the Alps as Fausto Masnada won the fifth and final stage in Bolzano.
Masnada was part of the early break and at one stage looked as though he would overturn the 3:37 deficit to Sivakov and secure overall victory, but ultimately had to settle for his second stage win of the tour.
He mounted a strong attack with 1.5km to go, beating Carlos Quintero (Manzana Postobon) by seven seconds. Italian Simone Velasco (Neri Sottoli) was third.
Sivakov finished alongside Tao Geoghegan Hart, some two minutes off the leaders, as the Team Sky duo secured a one-two in the general classification. Vincenzo Nibali was third.
