Your Stage 4 winner, Elia VIVIANI (ITA/DECEUNINCK - QUICK-STEP) was happy to get a win after being shut out at the Giro d'Italia: “We were hoping it will come down to a bunch sprint and were keen on trying again after finishing second yesterday. The guys were absolutely perfect, helping me get over the final climbs, and I was confident in them, because I know we have the best lead-out in the world. We took the responsibility in the last kilometers and made sure we were near the front going into the descent, because this was very important, Michael put me in a perfect position and I could finish off the job. Today’s victory means a lot to me and makes me extremely happy”, Elia said after becoming the first reigning Italian Champion in over two decades to notch up at least nine wins in the iconic tricolore. |

"I wanted to win this stage but it wasn't the day. The team did a perfect job, they pulled in the front almost all day and the stage was decided, as expected, in a fast bunch sprint. I did my best but today Viviani was the fastest. I feel well, my form is where it should be right now but it wasn't my day. Thanks to my third place and the sprint bonus, I keep the yellow and black jerseys." |

Your Stage 5 winner, Elia VIVIANI (ITA/DECEUNINCK - QUICK-STEP): “We all had tired legs, because the stage was really hard, and knowing that the uphill finish and the cobbles would make everything tactical, I asked the guys to move to the head of the bunch with only 1500 meters left. After Max dropped me off the front as we rounded the last corner, all I had to do was launch my sprint”, explained Elia after the team’s 39th victory of year. “The flat stages are over, but I will continue the race, help as much as possible Enric, who is our GC guy, and hopefully get to celebrate some more nice results with the team.” |
Peter SAGAN (SVK/BORA - HANSGROHE) leads by 14s going into the first mountainous stage | 
"Today was the last stage of this year's Tour de Suisse with a finish for the sprinters and we would have liked to win it. Once again, I'd like to thank all my teammates for the dedication and effort they put to control the race, protect me and place me for the sprint. I was right behind Viviani in the last left corner but he managed to stay ahead of me until the finish line. I think I can be satisfied with what I achieved so far in this Tour de Suisse and with the performance of our team." |
