Yates still in the lead
Gall has moved up to ninth place in the overall standings ahead of the last two stages. The captain of the Decathlon team is now 4:01 minutes behind Yates. After the next double victory for the UAE team, the Briton now leads by 27 seconds ahead of Almeida. The second best Austrian in the field, Patrick Konrad, is in 25th place (+12:11 min.) ahead of the weekend.
Stage 6 was originally planned as the queen stage. However, because both the Nufenen Pass and the Furka Pass, which was planned as an alternative, are not yet open, it was not possible to start in Locarno as planned. The stage, which was born out of necessity, still had almost 1,000 meters of altitude to overcome.
