Tour de Suisse 2025 Final GC Standings: João Almeida completes incredible turnaround to win the Maillot Jaune
Cycling
The 2025 Tour de Suisse reached a dramatic conclusion on Sunday afternoon as João Almeida completed an incredible turnaround to seal the Maillot Jaune in style with a dominant stage 8 victory in the final time trial.
After losing more than three minutes on the opening stage, Almeida has been steadily gaining time back day after day. As mentioned, it all culminated in the final stage time trial as the Portuguese leader of UAE Team Emirates - XRG overturned his deficit to Kevin Vauquelin, ending the prestigious stage race with a lead of 1:07 over his French rival. Completing the podium, Oscar Onley stayed within two minutes at 1:58 down on Almeida.
Felix Gall put in a storming performance on the final time trial, rising to 4th overall in the process at 2:20, with Julian Alaphilippe dropping to 5th at 3:57 following a disappointing time trial. Rounding out the top 10, Lennard Kamna (+4:52), Ben O'Connor (+5:08), Ilan Van Wilder (+6:16), Pablo Castrillo (+6:41) and Clement Champoussin (+8:30).

- I know, their headlines can be so misleading. Pidcock had a great season with 5 wins. and some solid 2nds. no reason to take away from that with a fake headline.mij08-11-2026
- You can clearly see the the posture change from slightly sitting to again out of the saddle while changing of gears in the video of the sprintabstractengineer08-11-2026
- He has already beaten Pogi twice in the TDF. the achievement is over. He cannot beat Pogi now and he only has a few years left at the top. Win Giro and compete in the TDF, maximise palmares.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just looked again at the photo. Yeah I stand by that. If MS had fallen over in Brands direction I don’t even think she would have hit her. You must be a UCI race commissioner. I’ll be sure to check my sock height should I ever see you on a ride. Looks like everyone else on here sees what I see.mij08-11-2026
- I said looking at the photo it doesn’t appear she deviated. Chill out, not stating my word is the final judgement. Just commenting that based on the photo I don’t see it. And BTW the Dutch coach even said she didn’t impede her.mij08-11-2026
- Blah Blah Blah !frieders308-11-2026
- MS said she was changing gears so that caused her slight deviation. Nothing was intentional.frieders308-11-2026
- How can you use a photo post incident to judge the incident itself (which is not hard to find if you’re prepared to invest the same amount of time in searching as writing that comment? It’s harsh but technically right even though this or worse is not always sanctioned in every race. The two things that went against MS (who unfortunately for her would still have won without making her mistake) are that it was not a bunch sprint where there could have been an overlooked incident or mitigating circumstances explaining a deviation. Everything was focused on just those 2, Schreiber was riding beautifully balanced which made her sudden deviation look unnatural stroke as if it could have been in some part intentional whilst she was slowly drifting ever closer towards the barrier to a point that would have reached obstruction level. In her defence, it might have been the realisation she was heading towards that that made her react suddenly and caused the deviation involuntarily. In any case, congratulations to her for the ride of her life, in people’s minds she will be credited for it.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Good boy Obviously doesn’t need that much help dealing with pressure, as some have suggested. Wiser (and humbler) than many far further along their careers. About offering him the moon, recently someone came up with an explanation of the downfall of a football great (either referring to Maradona or Portuguese Ronaldo) saying it was kind of normal after coming back from the moon, except that others, including some who actually did go to the moon like Armstrong (Neil in case anyone is too switched off to realise) didn’t go through any of the same motions after coming back. A lot of how you deal with situations has less to do with the situation than with your character.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
