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.”

• 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.

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

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).

Weather at the finish city of Leukerbad at 2:00 PM, local time: 20C (68F), fair, with the wind from the northwest at 14 km/hr (9 mph). There is a 7% chance of rain.

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.
