This Saturday, June 18, the seventh stage of the Tour de Suisse once again offers a high mountain course with two out-of-category passes: Lukmanierpass (29.2 km at 5%) and the final ascent in Malbun (8.5 km at 9.2%). Thomas in yellow before the clock? The latter will be the judge of the peace for this stage where the riders, who are not fans of the time trial, will have to do everything to create significant gaps. Jakob Fuglsang (Israel – Premier Tech), leader, will have a hard time facing Geraint Thomas (Ineos-Grenadiers), his runner-up by one second. Follow the race live. The Briton Geraint Thomas, on the attack in the last hectometres of yesterday’s stage, will be there again this Saturday. His objective will most certainly be to put on the leader’s tunic at the expense of Jakob Fuglsang. READ ALSO.
