Tour de Suisse: Viviani beats Sagan in the sprint

Viviani prevailed in the sprint on the slightly uphill home straight in Einsiedeln ahead of three-time world champion Peter Sagan (Bora-hansgrohe). Jasper Stuyven from Belgium came third. The Slovakian Sagan successfully defended his overall lead and is 14 seconds ahead of the Australian Michael Matthews (Sunweb).

The 5th stage over 177 km starting in Münchenstein was characterized for a long time by a breakaway group around the Slovenian Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Merida), who spent a total of 163 km at the front.

The day before, Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas (Ineos) had a serious fall, but escaped without serious injuries. However, the Welshman had to give up the race on the advice of doctors.

In addition to the Dauphine, which ended on Sunday, the Tour de Suisse is the traditional dress rehearsal for the Tour de France. The sixth stage on Thursday leads over 120,2 km from Einsiedeln to Flumserberg.

Overall ranking of the Tour de Suisse: 1. Peter Sagan (SVK) Bora 15:55:48 hours. 2. Michael Matthews (AUS) Sunweb +0:14 mins. 3. Kasper Asgreen (DEN) Deceuninck-Quick-Step +0:21 4. Rohan Dennis (AUS) Bahrain-Merida +0:22 5. Lawson Craddock (USA) EF +0:27 6. Matteo Trentin (ITA) – Mitchelton +0:38
