The battle for the overall victory at the 2024 Tour de Suisse would come down to the final climb of the eight-day race, with UAE Team Emirates teammates Adam Yates and João Almeida battling on the stage 8 time trial, run on a largely uphill 15.7km course to Villars-sur-Ollon. In the end, Almeida was the fastest in the time trial to win the stage, while Yates secured the overall victory.

Stage 7: Another 1-2 for UAE Team Emirates as Adam Yates takes victory / As it happened

UAE Team Emirates once again showed their strength at the Tour de Suisse as Adam Yates and João Almeida crossed the line together to finish one-two at the race’s final mountain stage at Villars-sur-Ollon.

Stage 6: João Almeida wins dramatically weather-shortened mountain stage / As it happened

Stage 5: Adam Yates extends lead with dominant summit finish / As it happened

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) cemented his lead at the Tour de Suisse by soloing to victory on the summit finish at Carì on stage 5.

Stage 4: Torstein Træen claims a solo summit finish victory/ As it happened

Breakaway Torstein Træen (Bahrain Victorious) fended off a rampaging Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) to claim an emotional stage win at the summit of the Gotthardpass. Træen took off around 10 kilometres from the top of the snowcapped pass to claim a victory in honour of the memory of the late Gino Mader, who died tragically in the course of the race last year. Yates counter-charge from the peloton took the Briton to second place at the summit, 23 seconds back and he moved into the overall lead.

Stage 3: Thibau Nys takes a small group sprint/ As it happened

Thibau Nys (Lidl-Trek) used a powerful sprint to clinch the victory in stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse on an uphill finish, holding off Stevie Williams (Israel Premier Tech) and Alberto Bettiol (EF Education-EasyPost). Bettiol nonetheless moved into the overall lead after the peloton split on the rugged finale around  Rüschlikon

Stage 2: Bryan Coquard wins stage 2 sprint / As it happened

Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) powered to his first victory of the season on stage 2 of the Tour de Suisse, jumping away from Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Dstny) in the final 150 metres as the Belgian suffered the most untimely mechanical when starting his sprint. De Lie managed to restring and take third behind the Frenchman and Michael Matthews (Jayco AlUla).

Stage 1: Yves Lampaert wins stage 1 time trial / As it happened

Yves Lampaert (Soudal-QuickStep) clocked a time of 5:05 on the flat 4.77 km course in Vaduz to win the opening stage and take the first yellow jersey of the 2024 Tour de Suisse. Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-Easy Post) was second, three seconds slower and Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) in third place.

About the Tour de Suisse

Taking place June 9-16, 2024 the 87th Tour de Suisse is all about the mountains. Like its counterpart held in France, Critérium du Dauphiné, the Tour de Suisse is also used by pro teams and riders as a tuneup for the Tour de France.

Last year, Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo) won stage 3 on the summit finish at Villars-sur-Ollon and claimed his first WorldTour stage race. Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates), winner of two stages, finished second overall,  nine seconds back. Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) was third.

Team Ineos Grenadiers won the three editions of the race, from 2019 to 2022.  In 2022, Geraint Thomas overhauled leader Sergio Higuita (Bora-Hansgrohe) in the stage 8 time trial to take the overall victory. Thomas went on to finish third at the Tour de France.

In 2021, Richard Carapaz took over the race lead following his stage 5 victory. The Ecuadorian then held onto his lead through the final three stages, including a mountainous final stage to Andermatt, to win the overall title. Carapaz finished third that year at the Tour.

Egan Bernal won the Tour de Suisse in 2019  and went on to win the Tour de France that year.

The Tour de Suisse, first raced in 1933, did not take place in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Before Bernal, the last Tour winner to ride in Switzerland as preparation for the Tour had been 2010 winner Andy Schleck, with the Critérium du Dauphiné often favoured as it allows for a longer recovery.

Slovakian Peter Sagan has the most stage wins, with 18, but never took the overall title. Three riders are tied with 11 stage wins, and they all came away with overall victories - the 2009 overall winner Fabian Cancellara, three-time winner Hugo Koblet (1950, 1953, 1955) and three-time champion Ferdinand Kübler (1942, 1948, 1951). Italian Pasquale Fornara is the leader in both number of overall victories, four times in the 1950s, and has spent the most days in the leader’s jersey, 17.
