Egan Bernal takes overall
Hugh Carthy (EF Education First) wins the queen-stage after a long solo-attack.
In an exciting showdown with Rohan Dennis (Bahrain-Merida), Egan Bernal (Team Ineos) defended his lead in the general classification. In Goms, he sealed his overall win of the 83rd Tour de Suisse. Patrick Konrad (Team Ineos) completed the podium in third place.
At just 22 years of age, Bernal is the third-youngest winner of the Tour de Suisse. The Colombian is considered to be one of cycling’s most talented young professional riders. In the upcoming Tour de France, Bernal is expected to be riding in support of his Ineos team captain, last year’s Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas.
Bernal laid the foundations for his second win of this season after Paris-Nice with the mountain-top finish in Flumserberg, with his stage victory on the Gotthard Pass and with a strong performance in the individual time-trial in Goms.
Bernal had to hold off the attacks from his opponents at the last major obstacle of the Tour de Suisse, the Furka Pass. On the final climb, Dennis went all in but Bernal was able to follow the Australian rider. In the end, Bernal held onto his advantage of 19 seconds to secure the overall victory.
"This triumph provides me with great confidence," said Bernal.
With a performance rarely seen in modern cycling, Hugh Carthy (EF Education First) stepped into the spotlight. The Briton was one of a few attackers on the lower slopes of the Nufenenpass, dropping the rest and then riding almost the entire distance of the queen stage alone in front of the race. Unheralded Carthy not only celebrated the most significant victory of his career but his bold triple-Alps ride netted him even more. On the Nufenen-, Gotthard- and Furka-pass he collected so many points for the mountain’s classification that he crowned himself as the ‘king of the mountains’ of the Tour de Suisse. After Friday’s mountain-top finish on the Gotthard a good overall placing was no longer possible, said Carthy, because his head and body weren’t co-operating. Now, he is happy that it all worked out two days later.
"Canadian Rob Britton ended one of the hardest stage races in team history on a high note, finishing 11th on the stage." Rally UHC
