Tour de Suisse 2016

Tour de Suisse 2016 Stage 9: Colombian party – Pantano stage win, López takes the overall

At 57.3 kilometres, stage 9 is a shortened version of the Davos-Davos stage that was scheduled. A flat section, a climb up the Flüela-pass, and then a 17.5 kilometres drop to the line. Ángel López is the first to crest, while he is caught in the drop by an elite-group. Pantano outsprints Chernetskii to take the stage win, while 22-year old López takes the first UCI World Tour win in his young career.

Tour de Suisse 2016 Stage 7: Van Garderen wins Queen Stage, Barguil new leader

Stage 7 is the Queen Stage of the 2016 Tour de Suisse. At 224 kilometres, the race features two mighty passes halfway, yet the big showdown is saved for last. At the steep slopes leading up to the Rettenbach Glacier leader Kelderman gets dropped, while Van Garderen attacks to solo to victory. Warren Barguil finishes in third and is the new overall leader.

Tour de Suisse 2016 Stage 6: Weening solos to victory in horrible weather, Kelderman new leader

Stage 6 in the Tour de Suisse takes the riders in 162.8 kilometres to Amden. Halfway they climb up the long and high Klausen Pass, while the finale is a 9 kilometres climb at 9.3%. A tough stage in itself, the race becomes even harder because of the incessant rain. Pieter Weening attacks from the front group at the lower slopes of the closing climb and he soloes to victory. Wilco Kelderman is strongest in the group with GC favourites and he is the new leader.
