UAE Team Emirates closed out the days racing with an impressive result for Marc Hirschi, taking 2nd place on home turf at the GP des Kantons Aargau.
UAE Team Emirates dictated the pace of the front group for much of the day, with Finn Fisher Black spending time off the front of the peloton forcing the Trek Segafredo team of eventual winner Thibau Nys to put in a strong chase.
Hirschi waited until the final kick to make his move from a reduced group sprinting for the win but just came up short behind Nys.
Hirschi : “ I’m really happy with the shape even though the win didn’t come. The team did a great job but there were too many fast riders left in the group at the end. It was a good opener for the Tour de Suisse. We have some reinforcements coming in the shape of Ayuso and Vine and I think the team is ready. ”
At the Criterium du Dauphine Mikkel Bjerg fought to hang on to the white jersey on stage 6 as Adam Yates climbed to 6th place ahead of tomorrow’s big day from Porte-de-Savoie to Col de la Croix de Fer (147.9km).
Georg Zimmerman (Intermarche-Wanty) took the stage win from the breakaway while UAE Team Emirates continue to lead the teams classification.
