Remco Evenepoel paid tribute to Gino Mäder after soloing to the win on stage 7 of the Tour de Suisse, saying his attacking ride to close out a sombre stage was "the best way to honour Gino."

The world champion proved the strongest from an elite group of riders which formed on the day's final climb, shortly after the peloton passed through the marker at which GC times were taken with 25km to go.
