In a thrilling final climb up to the line on stage 3 of the
Tour de Suisse, the 22-year-old
Mattias Skjelmose announced himself as an elite level climber, burning off the likes of
Remco Evenepoel,
Juan Ayuso and Rigoberto Uran.
"I wasn't quite sure. I was more worried about
Felix Gall, because his attack was very strong. Besides, I didn't know if Remco was playing a game," said the
Trek - Segafredo rider and new overall leader of the Tour de Suisse said in a post-stage interview. "But he was apparently on the limit," Skjelmose concludes.
