Tour de Suisse 2015

Simon Spilak Tour de Suisse 2015The Tour de Suisse left June, 13th, and finished June, 21th. Nine days of compelling racing with Thibaut Pinot seizing power in the Queen Stage to the Rettenbach glacier. However, his time trial skills failed him on the last day and it boiled down to a Simon Spilak/Geraint Thomas clash, with the Slovenian having the upper hand and he won the Tour de Suisse 2015 with a 5 seconds advantage.
