Race Situation
João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) take♑s the stage and overall on final stage of Tour de Suisse 2025.
Hello and welcome to the eighth and final stage of the Tour de Suisse men 2025 here on CyclingNews' live report page.
Today's stage is 10.1km long and is entirely uphill with a finish at the ski station of Stockhü🅺tte after starting in Beckenried on thee banks 🦩of Lake Lucerne.
Here are all the start times for the riders today with the first, Olivier Le Gac (Groupama-FDJ), starting at 11:38 local tim𝓰e.

And as we wait for the stage to kick off with Le♏ Gac rolling off the ramp, why not catch up on all the action from yesterday with our post race report...
>>> Tour de Suisse: João Almeida win stage 7 battle for GC seconds before decisive TT
After yesterday's brutal fight to the line, João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) does not see himself as the favourite due to the time trialing skill of Kévin Vauqu꧅elin (Arkea-B&B Hotels)...
"I don't think I'm the favourite for overall victory, Kevin Vauquelin is also strong in the TT, so it's going to be tough. But I'⛄m going to give everything I have,"
Almeida did gain bac♕k some time on Vauquelin yesterday, but it w♕as just 6" of bonuses as the Portuguese star managed to come around a very late attack by the race leader as well as Scottish rider, Oscar Onley to take the stage.
However, Almeida and the others all seemed to be running on fumes with none of them able to get an advantage. Only Felix Gall (Decathไlon-AG2R La Mondiale) managed a gap but he was also hauled back in the end.
Vauquelin has 🌄shown this year that he is very strong on TTs that finish on a climb. He won the fina𒐪l stage of the Étoile de Bessèges earlier this year to confirm his overall victory.
One thing he is strong at is a test against the clock on a climb. Howev﷽er, he was against the likes of Dylan Teuns, Kevin Geniets, Pierre Latour and the likes and not, with respect to them, a rider like Almeida.
Just over five minutes until Le Gac kic🔥ks off the final stage of the men's Tour de Suisse 2025.
Olivier Le Gac (Groupama-FDJ) has started his 🍃ridꦦe and the final stage of the Tour de Suisse has begun.
The second rider off the ramp, Alex Edmondson (Picnic-PostNL) has already caught 🐲Le Gac on the slopes to S🧜tockhütte.
The first 10 riders are now out on course.
One rider that may be interesting to watch is coming up nexꦐt, former S♊wiss and European time trial champion, Stefan Bissegger (Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale). It is way too hilly for him, really. But, he may set the early benchmark time.
Jimmy Janssens (Alpecin-Deceuninck) is the fastest so far at the half way point, he ﷺis 51" ahead of Sebastian Grignard (Lotto).
However, the🔯re has been no timings given to Edmondson who, according to trackers, is going tౠo finish first despite starting second.
Bissegger only managed the 4th best time at the time check. He is almost a minute down on Jan🤪ssens.
Five riders have officially finished...
1. Janssens (Alpecin-Deceuninck) 31'30"
2. Grignard (Lotto) +1'17"
3. Uhlig (Alpecin-Deceuninck) +3'09"
4. Le Gac (Groupama-FDJ) +3'25"
5. De Buyst (Lotto) +3'53"
Janssens looks like he may be the leader after the first wave of riders. There will soon be a break after Battistella (EF♎ Education-EasyPost) crosses the line to allow the riders back down the mountain.
New fastest time
Sylvain Moniquet (Lotto) - 30'42"
That puts him 48" faster than previouℱs leader, Jimmy Janssens (Alpecin-Deceuni💦nck).
The firs𒈔t wave of riders have finisꦗhed. There is around 45 minutes wait now for the next wave.

Racing is set ﷽to ꦓcommence with the 2nd wave at 13:23 local time with Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), who may have a good crack at this.
It is a beautiful day in Switzerland with temperatures at around 28°C in nearby Luzeꦓrn.
Racing begins again with the second wave of riders. Bjerg is on course followed by Danny van Poppel (Red Bull-B✃ora-Hansgrohe) and Marius Mayrhofer (Tudor).
There are now 17 riders out on course. No upﷺdated times at the split as of yet but it looks as though Bjerg, Van Poppel, Vermote, Askey and Mayrhofer have all passed it.
Surprisingly, Bjerg is well down at the first🐼 split in 31st place, over three minutes🐠 down. He is having a very bad day on the bike.
None of the latest starters appear to be✅ troubling the leading time set by Moniquet.
Vegard Stake Laengen (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) is the best time from the second wave, ♌so far. He is just 30" down at the split on Moniquet.
Brent Van Moer (Lotto) is on a good💦 ride as he goes second at the time check. He is just under 15" down on teammate, Moniquet.
Harry Sweeny (EF Education-EasyPost) goes fastest at the split.♛ Brilliant ride so fa💞r by the Australian rider.

Laengen sets the 4th best time at the finis🍨h. He i𝔉s 57" down on Moniquet.
Van Moer has slipped away a bit and finishes pro🥀visionally in 7th place 2'03" down on Moniquet.

Just over five✨ minutes until the final wave begins with Samitier.
The final wave of three is on the road with Samitier♛ rolling off th𝔉e ramp.
Winner of the mountains jersey of this year's Giro⛎ d'Italia, Lorenzo Fortunato (XDS-Astana), sets off on his ride. He has, unsurprisingly, not really been involved in the GC 🅺fight.
Samitier🔜 riding very well and is 5th at the🍸 split, 44" down on Sweeny.
Mau🍬ro Schmid (Jayco-Al๊Ula) sets off on his ride. The Swiss road national champion is on the road.

Tao Geoghegan-Hart (Lidl-Trek) and Aleksandr Vlasov (Red Bull-Bora-H💮ansgrohe) have set off on their rides.
Second best time at the finish...
Andrew August (Ineos Grenadiers) - 29'57"
That is 29" slower than Sweeny.
Powles♐s has caught and passed Romo out on course. The American rider is clearly on a good ride.
Vlasꦐov has caught and passed Geoghegen-Hart already. Meanwhile, stage one winner, Romain Gregoire (Groupama-FDJ), has set off.

Vansevenant fi🐠nishes 1'27" d🐭own in provisional 9th.
Vlasov slots into 7th at the🥀 split, 31" down on the leader, S⭕weeny.
Frank van den Broek (Picnic-PostNL) goes provisional 4th at the⛎ finish, 40" down.

Felix Gall (Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale) sets off on hi♚s ride.
Oscar Onley (Picnic-PostNL) sets off on his ride. This could be the best possible time trial for the rider fro Kelso in Scotland. If it was flat he would be losing lots of time. 𒊎But this mountain TT could suit him.
Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor) starts his ride.
Joe Blackmore (Israel-Pr🐓emier Tech) goes 7th at the finish, 44" behind Sweeny🌞.

Alaphi﷽lippe is losing a minute to Gall and 35" to Onley. The latter is just 3" off the podium.
Almeida coming to the line for the time check and he goes fastest by 1" over Gall! It is very close for the stage but how is Vauquelin going༒ behind?
Gro&szli♊g;schartner finishes 48" down﷽ in 12th place for now.
Vauq🌼uelin comes to the time check and h🐼e is 22" down on Almeida. That is very bad news as he now only has 11" on his rival.
