Joao Almeida won the sixth stage of the Tour of Switzerland, from Ulrichen to Blatten by just 42.5 km. The fraction, reduced by a hundred kilometers due to road dangers on the Alpine passes that had to be climbed today, lasted 50 minutes.

On the final climb of almost 6 km, UAE Emirates once again dominates: this time it is Almeida who crosses the finish line first ahead of his teammate and overall leader Adam Yates . Mattias Skjelmose recovers, third of the day, ahead of Egan Bernal and Lenny Martinez.
