Here's the report from stage winner Juan Ayuso's UAE Team Emirates:

Juan Ayuso took another strong victory today on stage 8 of the Tour de Suisse from St. Gallen to Abtwil (25.7km), blitzing the course in a time of 32:25.

The 20 year old talent clocked an average speed of 47.5kmph to win the stage and came within a whisker of taking the overall title. Finally he would concede it to yellow jersey Mattias Skjelmose (Trek-Segafredo) by just 9’’.

Nevertheless the result is very promising for the rising Spanish star as he takes the 33rd win of the year for UAE Team Emirates.

Ayuso : “I’m happy because I won the stage, it’s my second time trial win of the year so I’m happy to be improving in this discipline. I’m a little disappointed not to take the GC win by such a small margin but Mattias was really strong and I offer him my congratulations. I would like to dedicate the stage victory to Gino (Mader). Everybody here gave their best for him these days to try and honour his memory.”

• Time for GC will be taken at the 25km to go mark
• No bonus seconds will be awarded at the Tissot sprints and no bonus seconds will be awarded at the finish line
• All other classifications will be raced as normal

Here's the report from stage winner Remco Evenepoel's Team Soudal Quick-Step:

Remco Evenepoel paid tribute to Gino Mäder at the end of stage seven, pointing his finger to the sky as he crossed the line in Weinfelden. It was a touching moment at the end of a sombre and emotionally wearing day in the saddle, which the peloton raced as one until with 25 kilometers to go, when the GC times were taken.

On the last climb, Ottenberg, some squads upped the pace and soon a small group took off, among those there being also the World Champion, who rode away with 17 kilometers to go and opened a solid gap over the others. Evenepoel kept pushing in the closing part of the stage, increasing his advantage, and arrived alone at the finish, where he took his 44th pro victory.

“Friday evening was a very difficult one for all of us, we didn’t know what we were going to do and how the race would continue. In the end, after talking between us, we decided to have a neutralized stage today until 25 kilometers to go, and from there on, whoever wanted to race was free to do that without any time gaps in the general classification.”

“In my opinion, this was the best way to honour Gino and who he was, to pay a tribute to him and show my respect to his family in these difficult moments. This win and this trophy are for them. It doesn’t change anything, but I want them to know that all of us in the peloton, in our small world, are thinking of them”, said after the stage Remco, who remains fourth overall going into the individual time trial in Abtwil.

Weather at the finish city of La Punt-Chamues-ch at 1:50 PM, local time: 16C (61F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the north-northwest at 11 km/hr (7 mph). There is just a 1% chance of rain.

The race: Not starting: George Bennett (UAE Team Emirates). After about 50 kilometers Marius Mayhofer (Team DSM) abandoned.

Juan Ayuso took a spectacular solo victory today on stage 5 of the Tour de Suisse from Fiesch to La Punt (211km) .

The 20 year old talent launched himself in pursuit of the breakaway on the final climb with -14km on a mission to ride away to glory.

The others in the group including race leader Felix Gall (Ag2r-Citroen) had no response to the attack as he bridged across to and passed the breakaway group over the top of the climb.

Ayuso had time to celebrate as he put his hands in the air to take his second victory of the season.

Ayuso: “I’m so happy with this victory. Yesterday I had no legs and I just suffered through. Today as the pace started increasing I starting feeling better and better. We’re going to try and challenge for GC, it’s going to be hard but I’ll try until the end. It’s going to be a big fight all the way until Sunday and anything can happen along the way.”

Tomorrow the Tour de Suisse continues with Stage 6 from La Punt to Oberwil-Lieli (215.3km).

The race: Riders who did not start: Alexey Lutsenko & Vadim Pronskiy (both Astana Qazaqstan) and Cedric Beullens (Lotto Dstny)

Here's the report from second-place Remco Evenepoel's Team Soudl Quick-Step.

Remco Evenepoel showed a lot of character and fighting spirit on the toughest stage of the race so far, just 152.5 kilometers between Monthey and Leukerbad, taking his 14th top three placing of the year, a result which cemented his place on the overall podium of the competition.

Taking in five climbs, including Crans Montana, the fourth day of the Tour de Suisse was a wild one in the last 40 kilometers, when the attacks started coming from the GC men. Soudal Quick-Step tried to keep things under control, but then the race exploded with more than 20 kilometers to go and it soon was every man for himself. Felix Gall (AG2R Citroen) went clear, forcing a response from behind; the pace went up in the chasing group and Evenepoel got dropped, but showed remarkable resilience to make his way back in the small bunch.

On the penultimate ascent, the World Champion continued to suffer, dangling at the back and being close to getting dropped, but he gritted his teeth and rode smartly, latching on and making it over the top with the other favourites. Having overcome the difficult moment faced on the Höhenweg, the rainbow jersey remained calm as the road began again to rise to the finish in Leukerbad, where he waited for the last 100 meters to get out of the saddle and sprint to a strong runner-up spot which came with six bonus seconds that helped the 23-year-old Soudal Quick-Step rider reduce the gap to the overall leader to just 16 seconds.

“I’m not in my best shape at the moment and I feel that I need to ride at my own pace on these climbs. Today wasn’t easy, but as the race progressed and we got closer to the finish, my legs began feeling better and better. Considering everything, second isn’t bad, I think it was the maximum I could get out of this stage. But I keep my focus and confidence, and hope that I will overcome Thursday’s stage, which is going to be another difficult one”, explained Remco, who is now third on the general classification.

Weather at the finish city of Villars-sur-Ollon at 2:10 PM, local time: 17C (63F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the west at 11 km/hr (7 mph). There is a 69% chance of rain, dropping to 24% at 5:00 PM.

The race: Here's the stage three report from Remco Evenepoel's Team Soudal Quick-Step.

Remco Evenepoel kept his second place on the general classification of the eight-day race following the first of the week’s two summit finishes. Villars-sur-Olon, a 9.7km climb averaging 7.6% saw the World Champion put in a brave attack, more than six kilometers from the top, after Mattia Cattaneo and James Knox – both who had done an excellent job driving the peloton – peeled off the front.

Joined by two other riders, Remco pulled hard to help this newly-formed group stay away, but when the others surged clear in the final two kilometers he couldn’t follow and was soon caught by the chasers. Despite the big effort he had put in up until that point, Evenepoel still had enough left to finish a strong fourth and remain in contention at the Tour de Suisse, where just 17 seconds separate him from yellow jersey Mattias Skjelmose.

“The team did a great job today. Then I attacked and we got a good gap, but had a bad moment at one point and lost contact with the others. Despite this, I kept fighting and doing my best. I feel I’m not in top shape yet and I still need to make some progress after all this time without racing, but I hope to feel better and better in the coming days”, explained the rainbow jersey after finishing Tuesday’s stage.

Weather at the finish city of Nottwil at 2:15 PM, local time: 25C (77F), sunny, with the wind from the northeast at 13 km/hr (8 mph). There is just a 1% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from third-place Wout van Aert's Team Jumbo-Visma.

Wout van Aert has finished on the podium for the second consecutive day at the Tour de Suisse. After his third place in the time trial, the Jumbo-Visma rider finished third in the second stage. He only had to beat Biniam Girmay and Arnaud Demare in the bunch sprint.

With Van Aert wearing the black points jersey, the peloton set off from Beromünster to Notwill for a 174-kilometre stage. Two riders decided to attack early and opened up a four-minute lead. The duo was caught about 20 kilometres from the finish, and the sprinters' teams took control.

Mick van Dijke propelled Van Aert to the lead in the last kilometres. The Belgian set up the sprint early but in the last metres, Girmay and Demare passed him. With the four bonification seconds he gained, Van Aert closed the gap on race leader Küng to six seconds.

"It was a chaotic sprint. In the final kilometre, I was too far behind, but due to Mick, I was still able to make up some ground. When I saw the gap, I went for it, but it proved too early. In the end, I couldn't hold on. If I had read the situation better, I could have won the stage", Van Aert reflected on his sprint.

The Belgian rider intends to help Wilco Kelderman as much as possible in the coming days. The Dutchman has been appointed leader of Team Jumbo-Visma in Switzerland. "Wilco is in good shape and has set his sights on a good classification. I want to help him and I will try to keep the black points jersey."

Koen Bouwman crashed hard but managed to finish the stage.

Weather at the race city of Einsiedeln at 2:45 PM, local time: 22C (71F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the north at 11 km/hr (7 mph). There is a 24% chance of rain.

The race: First rider off is Connor Swift (INEOS Grenadiers) at 2:25 PM.

Here's the report from stage winner Stefan Küng's Team Groupama-FDJ:

This time, there was no one to upset Stefan Küng. On the opening time trial of the Tour de Suisse, the Groupama-FDJ rider proved to be the best in front of his home crowd. To get the better of his main rivals Remco Evenepoel and Wout Van Aert, he still had to cover the 12,7-kilometer course at an average speed of 56.3 km/h. The Swissman beat the Belgian champion, his runner-up, by six seconds, and thus brought the team its first WorldTour victory of the season. On Monday, “King Küng” will head to Nottwil with the yellow jersey on his shoulders.

The Critérium du Dauphiné was barely over than another WorldTour race started on Sunday, on the other side of the Alps. An individual time trial was therefore set to launch the Tour de Suisse in Einsiedeln, where a 12.7-kilometer coursewas to crown the first winner. “The course was very fast, essentially flat, with a final hill of 400 meters, so you needed to keep some energy to make a last big effort”, explained Anthony Bouillod, team coach. “There were a few curves, but the specialists could take them in position without any problem. The only thing we needed to take into account todaywas the wind, because it changed during the day. We then decided to spread out our specialists a bit, and that’s why we chose to put Romain rather at the start“.

Among the first to set off, the recent winner of the 4 Jours de Dunkerque Romain Grégoire actually made an impression. He indeed granted himself the best provisional time, in 14’06, and was only beaten half an hour later by the Italian time trial champion Matteo Sobrero. The young Frenchman remained on the provisional podium for a while, then gradually lost positions with some outsiders finishing, just like Miles Scotson, who first came with the fifth provisional time. “It’s a very good time trial for Romain (19th), especially for his first one at the WorldTour level”, said Anthony.

Shortly after 4:30 p.m., Magnus Shefflied took the best provisional mark, but the big favorites were only about to start. Behind the European champion Stefan Bissegger, Stefan Küng was expected at 4:51 p.m., two minutes before Wout Van Aert and four before Remco Evenepoel. This time slot was therefore going to decide the day’s outcome. At the intermediate checkpoint, the Groupama-FDJ rider passed just one second behind the American, but one second ahead of the Belgian champion and four ahead of Van Aert. “With the wind’s change of direction, we adapted the plan a little”, added Anthony Bouillod. “Initially, with the headwind on the way out and tailwind on the way back, the plan was to push a little harder on the way out. We decided to do the opposite and not to go too hard in order to be able to put an extra notch with the headwind. This small detail could make the difference.”

It it precisely in this second portion that Stefan Küng made the most of all his power. On the line he first beat Sheffield by eleven seconds with a time of 13’31, and then waited for the Belgian riders to join the line. Van Aert lost ten seconds, Evenepoel six, and the Swiss rider then screamed his joy, as he knew the main competitors were out of the way.

A few minutes later, Stefan Küng was officially declared winner of the stage, his third career victory in the Tour de Suisse, and his second this season. “It’s such a relief to win, even more here with the home crowd, my family, my wife, my son”, said Stefan. “It was a short time from the Giro to the Tour de Suisse. I did an altitude camp, I worked very very hard and I felt really tired on Wednesday evening. So, I just focused on my recovery, and even though I wasn’t 100% confident, seeing all my friends and family definitely gave me extra motivation. I knew I could do well, but I didn’t want to have too high expectations. Anyway, I always go full-has, and today it paid off. There was some strong competition today, and with the last Remco’s displays on the Giro, it wasn’t written that I could win. I’m so glad I did it after coming so close so many times.” “We are very happy for Stefan, because he came close so often”, confirmed Anthony. “We also know how much he commits to this discipline. It’s reassuring to see that it’s paying off. For his motivation, it is also a good thing for him to see that he is able to win even against the best in the world, as was the case today. I think it will do him good.”

On Sunday evening, Stefan Küng also took the leader’s yellow jersey, which he will proudly wear tomorrow in a stage suited to the sprinters. “I want to honour the jersey and give mybest”, he added. “I think I can defend it tomorrow and then we’ll see soon enough how things go in the mountains. I can’t promise anything, but I will fight for sure.” “We couldn’t dream of a better start”, concluded Anthony. “It will put the team on the right track, and we have a versatile squad that will be able to have a role throughout the whole week”.

Swiss Cycling Top Tour

Tour des Stations

Bild: Tour des Stations

Vom Nufenen bis zum Bodensee, vom Engadin bis ins Wallis, von Ambri bis nach Bern: Die Veranstaltungen der Swiss Cycling Top Tour sind so faszinierend und vielfältig wie die Schweiz. Vom 1. bis 6. August 2023 findet die nächste Ausgabe der «Tour des Stations» in Verbier (VS) statt. Bei der diesjährigen Austragung stehen viele Neuheiten auf dem Programm.

• 9. Januar 2023

Dank der «Tour des Stations» ist seit dem Jahr 2018 auch der Kanton Wallis Bestandteil der Swiss Cycling Top Tour. Nach zwei Ausgaben mit Einschränkungen – Ursachen waren die Covid-19 Pandemie und das schlechte Wetter – war die letztjährige fünfte Ausgabe ein voller Erfolg. Die «Tour des Stations» durfte bei idealen Bedingungen eine Rekordzahl an Teilnehmenden begrüssen. Anlässlich der diesjährigen «Tour des Stations» – ausgetragen vom 1. bis 6. August 2023 – werden zwei neue, «ultimative» Strecken angeboten. Mit Distanzen von 555 und 1000 km will sich die Walliser Veranstaltung als «Everest des Weltradsports» positionieren.

Vor dem Hintergrund der weltweiten Entwicklung in Richtung Ultradistanz-Radsport lancieren die Veranstalter eine mehrtägige Rennserie namens «Ultimates»; es werden zwei Distanzen angeboten. Die «Ultimate 1000» umfasst 1000 km und 26’000 Höhenmeter (maximal 120 Stunden). Sie führt durch die Schweizer Alpen und verbindet 35 Stationen in 7 Kantonen. Die Strecke «Ultimate 555» misst 555 km, weist 17’000 Höhenmeter auf (maximal 70 Stunden) und führt durch 20 Walliser Destinationen. Das Angebot mit den schon fast mythischen Distanzen richtet sich in erster Linie an «Abenteuersportlerinnen und -sportler», bei welchen Zeit und Platzierung zweitrangig sind. Die Anzahl der Startplätze ist auf 100 Personen pro Strecke begrenzt.

Auch bei den klassischen «Fondo»-Strecken über einen Tag lancieren die Organisatoren einen neuen Parcours – den «Superfondo» (185km und 6800 Höhenmeter). Das neue Angebot, welches sich aufgrund des Schwierigkeitsgrades zwischen dem «Granfondo» und dem «Ultrafondo» einordnen lässt, ist eine Vorstufe zu den Ultradistanz-Strecken.

Auf diese Weise ermöglichen die Veranstalter allen Interessierten, unabhängig von der Dauer der Herausforderung (über einen oder mehrere Tage) und der Länge der gewählten Strecke aussergewöhnliche Orte in einer grandiosen Umgebung mit einem aussergewöhnlichen «Höhenunterschied pro Kilometer» zu verbinden. Die «Tour des Stations» zeichnet sich durch eine weltweit einzigartige Herausforderung aus: «Sich an einem einzigen Tag dem Höhenunterschied des Mount Everest stellen».

Tour de Suisse 2024 route

The eight-day stage race in Switzerland features two time trials and almost 18,000 metres of climbing

Stage 8: Aigle - Villars-sur-Ollon (ITT), 15.7km

The Tour de Suisse returns in 2024 with the shortest edition in the race's history in terms of distance but as tough as ever with nearly the same amount of climbing as last year packed into eight stages.

A year after the tragic death of Gino Mäder , who crashed on the descent from the Albula pass, the entire region around the site of his fall is absent from the route.

Instead, the race begins in Vaduz and traverses the centre of Switzerland from north to south before a trip west for the final two stages around Villars-sur-Ollon.

The race will include two time trials and four mountain summit stage finishes, making for a tough week covering 948.9 kilometres and 19,000 metres of climbing.

"Only the best mountain riders will be able to have their say for the overall victory. However, different types of riders will be possible for stage victories," says Tour director Olivier Senn.

Stage 1: Vaduz - Vaduz, 4.8km

The Tour de Suisse starts with a short time trial in Vaduz, just 4.8 kilometres long and pan-flat. The stage will most likely not be a major factor for the general classification but instead, gives the sprinters and power riders a chance to take the lead before the race heads into the high mountains.

Stage 2: Vaduz - Regensdorf, 177.9km

The second day of racing is a punchy course, leaving Vaduz and heading to Regensdorf. Although it's just 177.9 kilometres, it's the longest stage of the 2024 Tour de Suisse. With three classified ascents and 2,400 metres of climbing, it will give the mountain goats a chance to warm up their legs after the explosive effort on the opening stage but ultimately could end up in a bunch sprint.

Stage 3: Steinmaur - Rüschlikon, 161.9km

Stage 3 of the 2024 Tour de Suisse heads from Steinmaur to Rüschlikon and, aside from stage 1, is the flattest of the week and one suited to the sprinters even if it climbs almost 2,000 metres. There is a short climb ending with 10km to go and a quick descent and an uphill drag to the line.

Stage 4: Rüschlikon - San Gottardo, 170.5km

The roads begin to reach into the thousands of metres in altitude on stage 4 of the 2024 Tour de Suisse. After a relatively flat first 140 kilometres, the race heads up the only climb of the day, the undulating Gotthard Pass from the Schöllenen gorge side to the north, a 13.2km test at an average of 7% grade.

Stage 5: Ambri - Cari, 148.8km

Stage 5 gives riders an out-and-back route of 148.8km from Ambri to Cari, starting with a loop around Ambri that takes in the Altanca ascent almost from the flag drop and offers little respite before the first ascent of the mountain to Cari, coming from the western side. Riders then descend past the finish line and race toward Biasca and complete a flat loop through Gorduno before coming back the way they came to summit Cari from the eastern side.

With double-digit gradients and an average of 8%, it's a major test for the GC contenders, especially at the end of a short stage with 3,200 metres of climbing.

Stage 6: Locarno - Blatten-Belalp, 151.2km

More mountains meet the riders on stage 6 with the highest point of the 2024 Tour de Suisse coming on the mid-stage Nufenenpass from Airolo and ascending to over 2,400 metres in altitude. Also known as the Passo della Novenà, it's a beast of a climb - 24.1km long and averaging 5.5% - but only the warm up for the 7km final ascent to Blatten at the end of the 151.2km stage.

Stage 7: Villars-sur-Ollon - Villars-sur-Ollon, 118.7km

Stage 7 is very short and will be a free-for-all starting on the Col de la Croix out of the gates, and covering the climb a second time mid-stage before ending at Villars-sur-Ollon partway up the third ascent. The climb itself is 18.5km long and averages 6.8% and makes up most of the day. The riders will be very familiar with each switchback by the time they reach the finish after 118.7 kilometres and 3,070 metres of climbing.

As if the riders hadn't gone up the Croix enough, the final stage time trial uses a piece of the course from stage 7, heading from the UCI headquarters in Aigle back up to Villars-sur-Ollon covering 15.7km and 879 metres of climbing. It's a sting in the tail after a week packed with ascending.

The 10 Highest-Paid Caddies On Tour

Posted: April 25, 2024 | Last updated: April 25, 2024

In the bustling world of professional golf, 2023 proved to be a lucrative year for caddies, with earnings soaring to remarkable heights.

Beyond the thrill of victories and top-tier finishes, a deeper dive into the financial realm reveals intriguing dynamics.

Typically, caddies receive a solid $2,500 weekly base fee, complemented by a 10% share for wins and 7% for non-win situations, not to be overlooked are additional revenue streams like endorsements.

Join us as we uncover the top looper earners of 2023.

Player: Scottie Scheffler – Earnings: $1,650,000.

So far, 2024 has proven to be highly profitable for Ted Scott, Scheffler’s caddie since 2022. He has amassed an impressive estimated earnings of $1.4 million through APRIL putting him near his total earnings from 2023.

Sam Pinfold

Player: Cameron Smith – Earnings: $1,025,000.

Pinfold met Cameron Smith at the New Zealand Open. When Pinfold’s player missed the cut, Smith invited him to caddy. Smith’s stellar performance cemented their player-caddy relationship since 2015.

Austin Kaiser

Player: Xander Schauffele – Earnings: $985,000.

Former San Diego State Aztec teammate and buddy of Schauffele has been on his bag for the past 6 years.

Player: Patrick Cantlay – Earnings: $895,000.

LaCava, Tiger Woods’ caddie since 2011, opted to depart following Woods’ recent ankle surgery. In 2023, LaCava joined Cantlay as his caddie.

Jim "Bones" MacKay

Player: Justin Thomas – Earnings: $815,000.

While Jim MacKay caddied alongside Thomas to a lucrative 2023, they have since parted ways, just before the 2024 Masters. Now on the bag for Thomas is caddy Matt Minister.

Player: Will Zalatoris – Earnings: $760,000.

Joining alongside Zalatoris at the 2022 FedEx Cup playoffs, he has been his looper since, helping him to his lone victory at the 2022 FedEx St Jude Championship.

Billy Foster

Player: Matt Fitzpatrick – Earnings: $640,000.

Since joining forces in 2018 after parting ways with Lee Westwood, Foster and Fitzpatrick have achieved significant success, highlighted by their victory at the US Open in Brookline, Fitzpatrick’s first Major title. Foster’s impact was evident at the 2022 PGA Championship, where Fitzpatrick credited him for patience, crucial in tough conditions.

Paul Tesori

Player: Cameron Young – Earnings: $565,000.

Tesori was on the bag for Cameron Young up until the end of the 2023 year, amassing more than half a million dollars in that time. Since, Young has brought on Wayne de Haas to take over caddie duties.
