Geraint Thomas wins Tour de Suisse, Remco Evenepoel bounces back to win final time-trial
CyclingSunday, 19 June 2022 at 16:25
The Tour de Suisse has ended today with Remco Evenepoel bouncing back to take the final stage win of the race, riding the final time-trial in the fastest time bouncing back from a less good week. Geraint Thomas attacked Sergio Higuita to win the overall classification.
The stage was to be decided between the final riders setting off the start ramp. Remco Evenepoel set a time of 28:26 in the 25.6-kilometer long route in Vaduz, a strong time but not one that comfortably took the win. However he managed to hold on in first place, as Stefan Küng arrived 11 seconds slower, and Geraint Thomas finished only three seconds behind.

- I didn't know there was a problem in Italian cycling. Sure, there hasn't been an Italian win a grand tour in recent years, but if we are using that as a metric, then every country in the world other than Slovenia and Denmark are in big trouble!Pogboom26-11-2024

- Here he is again, giving real answers! Love it. As a fan, I had not really paid attention but agree with what he says. Between Pogacar and van der Poel, with their attacks from 50k and more, the racing is simply different. At the grand tours, it's that kind of attacking every day, as well (e.g., even when he didn't want to, other teams goaded Pogacar into racing for the win at the Tour). I can imagine how hard that is for a rider, but for me as a fan it's certainly a lot of fun to watch.RidesHills25-11-2024
- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024
