Tour de Suisse 2015

Tour de Suisse 2015 Stage 9: Spilak wins GC, Dumoulin takes last stage

The hilly time trial in Switzerland boils down to a scenario Alfred Hitchcock would have been proud of. Soon leader Thibaut Pinot is out of the question and the race turns into a battle over seconds between Simon Spilak and Geraint Thomas. The Slovian is strongest, besting the Welshman by 5 seconds in the overall. Tom Dumoulin takes the stage and is ready for a battle for yellow with Tony Martin in Utrecht next month.
