"It was definitely a hard week for me so far. It's not really my most favourite terrain with all the hills and climbs. I was pretty disappointed with stage ꦐ2 because that was supposed to be a flat stage, but my legs didn't feel great at the beginning of the week.

"During the days, the legs felt better and better. I felt straight away that I had good legs today, and I'm really happy to f🧸inish it off.

"This is just ꧒my second win on the WorldTour level, so I'm super happy to take the win home today."

Two tough stages coming up this weekend at the Tour de Suisse, with tomorrow's hard hilly day to Emmetten followed by Sunday's 10km mountain time trial to Stockh&u🃏uml;tte.

Will Kevin Vauquelin be able to defend the race ꦺlead and take a huge win this weekend?
