While Julian Alaphilippe and Kevin Vauquelin flied towards GC podium at the
Tour de Suisse, their compatriot, current leader of the GC,
Romain Grégoire was suffering further behind. Ultimately, the leader of
Groupama - FDJ had to wave goodbye to the yellow jersey as he lost nearly 7 minutes and dropped all the way to 13th overall.
"I don't feel anything anymore. I'm completely empty. I had less strength than I hoped," the broken Romain Grégoire told
L'Equipe after the stage.
