After a bruising experience the previous afternoon, Bora-Hansgrohe hit back on stage 3 of the Tour of the Alps, with Lennard Kamna skipping away to take the victory before Aleksandr swept up behind to make it a team 1-2 atop the Passo San Valentino.
Both riders were dropped from the lead group towards the end of stage 2, losing valuable time, but they bit back on Wednesday's longer final climb, setting the pace before launching Kamna 6km from the summit.
The German was joined a couple of kilometres later by Alexander Cepeda (EF-EasyPost) and he leaned on the overly-generous Colombian before hitting him with the sucker punch in the last 500 metres.
Cepeda was unable to hang on for second place, with Vlasov surging from an elite group of just five riders, which finished just a few seconds down. It was the race leader Tao Geoghegan Hart who had formed that group when he attacked 2km from the summit, and he took fourth place on the day, just behind Cepeda.
Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) and Hugh Carthy (EF-EasyPost) were the other members of that group, with Lorenzo Fortunato (Eolo-Kometa) just trailed off towards the end.
