Tour de Suisse 2025 GC Update | All change again after stage 5 as Vauquelin takes race lead with Alaphliippe, Almeida & Onley close behind
Cycling
After four days in the Maillot Jaune, Romain Gregoire has finally been forced to relinquish the race lead at the 2025 Tour de Suisse on stage 5 after a thrilling mountain stage turned the race on its head.
The new race leader, is former Tour de France stage winner Kevin Vauquelin. The Arkea - B&B Hotels star finished 4th on the stage, but now holds a 29 second lead over Julian Alaphilippe. Behind, come the two stars of stage 5. Firstly, Joao Almeida is now up to 3rd, just 39 seconds off the Maillot Jaune, before stage 5 winner Oscar Onley rises to 4th overall at 1:21.
Lennard Kamna completes the top 5, 1:44 down, with Ben O'Connor (2:16), Felix Gall (2:20), Pablo Castrillo (2:40), Matthew Riccitello (3:08) and Ilan Van Wilder (3:17) rounding out the top 10.

- Ah sigh, the end of the Italian fall classics. I don't know why I love these so much, but I do. I wonder if there is a way to make a racing series out of the races that go off pavement, creating a points competition out of races like Strade Bianchi, Flanders Field, Tro Bro Leon, Paris-Tours, the Veneto Classic, and the others that add some gravel and farm paths. We talk about the cobbled classics, but there are enough gravel classics for some branding, no?RidesHills18-10-2026
- If many commenters here absolutely believe that the top cyclists in the world are doping than the only logical conclusion based on actual results is that Pogacar is the greatest and best at doping cyclist the sport has ever beheld.Is this your conclusion or do I have to be assailed by more hemming and hawing by "thats not quite what I meant" isms.
Brucegel18-10-2026 - he was cut off i believe. To be in UAE is like to be in real madrid and barcelona combined. And he simply wasnt up to par and hence cut by the team..Starting to feel like a gossip site with these fake headlines.miguel18-10-2026
- what a misleading headline, again - he wasn't even on the main team. it is written like such a big loss. this is meaningless.mij18-10-2026
- what a demolition by Remcomij18-10-2026
- what are you saying, was Vine drafting off Remco? I didn't see it.mij18-10-2026
- There is nothing wrong with suspicion in this sense. It is not like any of those guys are on trial or paying for it, on the contrary, they are the ones reaping rewards whilst there is no proof. If you can’t be suspicious, you never search for proof or create pressure for it (and it never falls from the sky). Plenty of the older guys have either admitted or crossed the threshold of reasonable doubt. That creates a pattern which any thoughtful person or AI would consider as representative of some constant average reality. If I see young guys driving super sportscars in trashy neighbourhoods , I (and you) will suspect many things without specifically accusing anyone of anything because there is always some unlikely possibility it’s legit for a few but we can all assume most cases are not.Jumpyjohn18-10-2026
- MG is much worse than you describeJumpyjohn18-10-2026
- Ask the middle east to fund your sports and you can be rid of political interference ;-)Jumpyjohn18-10-2026
- Thank you for your experience which completely mirrors what my environment taught me. Obviously I wouldn’t be getting any secret admissions from those who made it to the very top (but the levels they fall back to post career is already quite revealing in itself) but almost all those who were on their way and stopped of their own accord tell the same story. And those who believe cycling is so well checked, easy to say when you compare to sports that hardly care but explain why so few are caught and banned in comparison to e.g. athletics (if you even know some of the numbers).Jumpyjohn18-10-2026
