Adam Yates wins Tour de Suisse as João Almeida wins final time-trial, his second win of the week
Cycling
The Tour de Suisse has been won by Adam Yates. UAE Team Emirates absolutely dominated the race as they have won the final four stages of the race. Stage 8, the final time-trial, has been won by João Almeida.
The Portuguese rider managed to take the final stage win, beating his teammate Yates by 9 seconds of advantage. However, because of the efforts of the Briton in previous days, he still managed to win the overall classification. Both are ready for the Tour de France, where they will race together with Tadej Pogacar and Juan Ayuso as well.
Mattias Skjelmose has finished third on the day, 21 seconds down, whilst Matthew Riccitello and Tom Pidcock rode to fourth and fifth on the day. Egan Bernal lost his third place in the overall classification to Skjelmose, whilst Riccitello was fifth.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
