As the mutants are still on the Critérium du Dauphiné which overlaps with this race (for one day!), this Tour de Suisse should be much more open.

Skjelmose🇩🇰, who won the race 2 years ago, should have been the main favourite but he isn't showing up on this race either, after cancelling his participation on the Dauphiné. Therefore, Almeida (🇵🇹 UAE) becomes the favourite.

Another hectic day. Grégoire (🇫🇷 FDJ) hadn't recovered from yesterday's efforts, he completely exploded in the relatively short but very hard climb that was to be ridden twice in the final 25 kilometres, and lost the yellow jersey by a huge margin. Vauquelin (🇫🇷 Arkéa) and Alaphilippe (🇫🇷 Tudor) did a much better climb and lost less time to Almeida (🇵🇹 UAE) and Onley (🇬🇧 Picnic) who arrived together, respectively second and first of the stage. Gall (🇦🇹 Décathlon) seems to revive too, contrarily to O'Connor (🇦🇺 Jayco).

Vauquelin is the new leader, Alaphilippe 2^nd^ but they only have a small margin left ahead of Almeida.
