This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:29, 23 December 2026. Your current IP address is 3.227.252.27.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''2015 Tour de Suisse''' was the 79th edition of the [[Tour de Suisse]] stage race. It took place from 13 to 21 June and was the seventeenth race of the [[2015 UCI World Tour]]. It started in [[Risch-Rotkreuz]] and finished in [[Bern]]. The race was composed of nine stages including two time trials, a short one on the first day and a long one on the last day. The event covered {{convert|1262.6|km|0|abbr=off}},{{sfn|''TdS''|2020|p=198}} and visited [[Liechtenstein]] and Austria on its fifth stage, which was the race's sole mountaintop finish.

The winner of the general classification was Slovenian [[Simon Špilak]] of {{UCI team code|KAT|2015}}, who won the race by a margin of only five seconds from Great Britain's [[Geraint Thomas]] ({{UCI team code|SKY|2015}}). The ultimate selection was made on the last day's [[individual time trial]]. [[Tom Dumoulin]] of the {{UCI team code|TGA|2015}} squad rounded up the podium, having won the two individual time trial stages that bookended the race.

The mountains classification was initially awarded to Austria's [[Stefan Denifl]] ({{UCI team code|IAM|2015}}), who featured in many [[Glossary of cycling#breakaway|breakaways]] to amass his points. Denifl was later disqualified following his suspension for doping in 2019. The sprints classification was won by Slovakian [[Peter Sagan]] ({{UCI team code|TTS|2015}}) who also was the victor of two stages. Team Sky finished at the head of the team classification with a margin of 11 minutes and 49 seconds.

Other riders who won a stage were Croatian [[Kristijan Đurasek]] of {{UCI team code|LAM|2015}}, Australian [[Michael Matthews (cyclist)|Michael Matthews]] ({{UCI team code|OGE|2015}}), Norwegian [[Alexander Kristoff]] ({{UCI team code|KAT|2015|nolink=yes}}) and Kazakh [[Alexey Lutsenko]] of {{UCI team code|AST|2015}}. Frenchman [[Thibaut Pinot]] grabbed the [[queen stage]] to the [[Rettenbach glacier]] and held the leader's jersey for four stages, but had to surrender it on the last day of competition to Špilak.

The race did not follow any particular pattern in terms of geographical displacement around the country, but did visit [[Liechtenstein]] and Austria on the fifth stage. It was also the longest of the race and was qualified as the [[queen stage]]. It finished near [[Sölden]] situated in Austrian territory and featured a mountaintop finish. After that, the race came back in Swiss territory for the remainder of the event. The stages which were likely to be the most important for the general classification were stage five and the individual time trial on the final stage. The race featured a total elevation gain of {{convert|15606|m|1|abbr=off}}.<ref name="Preview">{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/preview|title=Tour de Suisse primed for duel among top sprinters|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=12 June 2015|access-date=12 June 2015|last=Fletcher|first=Patrick|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150613125122/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/preview|archive-date=13 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Stage 1===

'''13 June 2015&nbsp;— [[Risch-Rotkreuz]] to Risch-Rotkreuz, {{convert|5.1|km|1|abbr=on}}, [[individual time trial]] (ITT)'''
[[File:Tour de Suisse 2015, étape 1 (A).jpg|thumb|The opening [[Glossary of cycling#prologue|prologue]]'s {{convert|5.1|km|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} course was in and around [[Risch-Rotkreuz]].]]

The very short prologue contained three sharp corners. The first two kilometers were slightly uphill, the third one was slightly downhill and the rest was flat.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=30–31}}

The best times coming from the first tier of riders were [[Matthias Brändle]] ({{UCI team code|IAM|2015}}) with 5' 45", [[Greg Van Avermaet]] ({{UCI team code|BMC|2015}}) a second slower and [[Cameron Meyer]] ({{UCI team code|BEX men|2015}}) another second in arrears. [[Thibaut Pinot]] ({{UCI team code|FDJ|2015}}) came in with a deficit of twelve seconds on Brändle. [[Michael Matthews (cyclist)|Michael Matthews]] ({{UCI team code|OGE|2015|nolink=yes}}) also realised a good time, four seconds down on the provisional leader. Domenico Pozzovivo ({{UCI team code|ALM|2015}}) came to the finish with a fifteen-second deficit.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/tom-dumoulin-wins-tour-de-suisse-opener-geraint-thomas-10th-176819|title=Tom Dumoulin wins Tour de Suisse opener, Geraint Thomas 10th|work=[[Cycling Weekly]]|date=13 June 2015|access-date=13 June 2015|first=Stephen|last=Puddicombe|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150615005829/http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/tom-dumoulin-wins-tour-de-suisse-opener-geraint-thomas-10th-176819|archive-date=15 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Daniele Bennati]] ({{UCI team code|SAX|2015}}) had the best intermediate time all day, which was calculated with {{convert|2.1|km|1|abbr=off}} remaining as the riders went through the checkpoint.

{{UCI team code|BMC|2015|nolink=yes}}'s [[Silvan Dillier]] crashed as he was on a straight stretch of road. He managed to remount and finish the stage; his final position was last place, 1' 22" down. {{UCI team code|SKY|2015}}'s leader Geraint Thomas put in a fast ride, only seven seconds down on the winner. [[Peter Sagan]] ({{UCI team code|TTS|2015|nolink=yes}}) came in five seconds in arrears of Dumoulin, missing out on his objective of being the first leader of the race.

===Stage 2===

'''14 June 2015&nbsp;— Risch-Rotkreuz to Risch-Rotkreuz, {{convert|161.1|km|1|abbr=on}}'''

[[File:Tour de Suisse 2015 Stage 2 Risch-Rotkreuz (18986267801) (cropped).jpg|thumb|The race leaders pass beneath the archway marking {{convert|1|km|abbr=off}} to go (''[[Glossary of cycling#flamme rouge|flamme rouge]]'').]]
The stage started right away with a Category 2 climb named Dorfstrasse which was {{convert|5.4|km|1|abbr=off}} long. The riders then rode a loop to tackle the latter climb once more about midway through the stage. Afterward another loop around Risch-Rotkreuz was effectuated to reach a Category 1 affair named Michaelskreuz, {{convert|4|km|1|abbr=off}} long. The course came back down and effectuated another circuit to tackle the climb a second and last time. This last [[King of the Mountains]] (KOM) checkpoint was situated at {{convert|12|km|1|abbr=off}} from the finish. The riders negotiated the descent and ended up once again in Risch-Rotkreuz for the finale.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=32–35}}

After {{convert|38|km|1|abbr=off}} of racing, [[Luka Pibernik]] ({{UCI team code|LAM|2015}}), [[Cameron Meyer]] ({{UCI team code|BEX men|2015}}), [[Jürgen Roelandts]] ({{UCI team code|LOT|2015}}) and [[Valerio Agnoli]] of {{UCI team code|AST|2015}} had an advantage of 1' 08" over chasers [[Ben King (cyclist)|Ben King]] ({{UCI team code|TCG|2015}}) and [[Simone Antonini]] of [[List of 2015 UCI professional continental and continental teams|Pro Continental]] team {{UCI team code|WGG|2015}}. They also enjoyed a lead of 2' 55" on the [[peloton]]. The two chasers soon fell back into the main field. The maximum gap the peloton allowed the escapees to have was 3' 20". As the main group attacked the climb of Michaelskreuz for the first time, [[Arnaud Démare]] ({{UCI team code|FDJ|2015}}) crashed because of the fight for position.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/durasek_surprises_in_tough_stage_in_switzerland/|title=Durasek surprises in tough stage in Switzerland|website=CyclingQuotes.com|publisher=JJnet.dk A/S|date=14 June 2015|access-date=14 June 2015|last=Axelgaard|first=Emil|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150707154521/http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/durasek_surprises_in_tough_stage_in_switzerland/|archive-date=7 July 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

With {{convert|16|km|1|abbr=off}} to go, the riders attacked the climb of Michaelskreuz for the second and last time and caught the remnants of the [[Glossary of cycling#breakaway|breakaway]] on the way up.<ref name="CN2">{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-2/results|title=Tour de Suisse: Durasek solos to stage 2 win|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=14 June 2015|access-date=14 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150616080601/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-2/results|archive-date=16 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> {{UCI team code|AST|2015|nolink=yes}}'s [[Jakob Fuglsang]] accelerated close to the summit, with only [[Geraint Thomas]] ({{UCI team code|SKY|2015}}) and [[Simon Špilak]] ({{UCI team code|KAT|2015}}) initially able to follow, while [[Michał Kwiatkowski]] ({{UCI team code|QST|2015}}) lost contact. Thomas then attacked on the descent and was followed by Fuglsang and Špilak. [[Tom Dumoulin]] ({{UCI team code|TGA|2015}}) chased them as he wanted to protect his leader's jersey. A small group of nine riders formed on the descent.<ref name="CN2" />

Close to the final kilometre, [[Kristijan Đurasek]] of {{UCI team code|LAM|2015|nolink=yes}} placed an acceleration and continued to a solo victory on the flat run-in. The group came in four seconds in arrears, with [[Daniel Moreno]] ({{UCI team code|KAT|2015|nolink=yes}}) winning the sprint for second place before [[Julián Arredondo]] ({{UCI team code|TFS men|2015}}. Overall contenders [[Thibaut Pinot]] ({{UCI team code|FDJ|2015|nolink=yes}}) and Špilak were also part of that clique, coming in fourth and sixth respectively. [[Peter Sagan]] ({{UCI team code|SAX|2015}}) won the sprint of the following group, coming in tenth at fourteen seconds.

===Stage 3===

'''15 June 2015&nbsp;— [[Quinto, Ticino|Quinto]] to [[Olivone]], {{convert|117.3|km|1|abbr=on}}{{efn|name=Quinto}}'''

[[File:Airolo 1.jpg|thumb|The third stage began with the [[hors catégorie]] [[Gotthard Pass]] climb.]]
This was the new version of the stage as the original route was closed due to a [[landslide]].<ref name="Rock"/> The stage immediately started with the {{convert|1087|m|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} ascent of the [[hors catégorie]] [[Gotthard Pass]], the summit of which was {{convert|18.8|km|1|abbr=off}} in. Then came a long [[Glossary of cycling#false flat|false flat]] until a Category 2 climb, the {{convert|5|km|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} Zona Cumiasca. It was immediately followed by a Category 3 named ascent Via Cantonale, a {{convert|3.2|km|abbr=off|adj=on}} climb which summited {{convert|6|km|1|abbr=off}} from the finish.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=38–39}}

The race got on its way under cloudy but dry conditions. The Tour de Suisse was featuring the Gotthard Pass for the 34th time in its history, and a break formed along its early slopes, which featured cobbles.<ref name="Live 3">{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-3/live-report|title=Live report|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=15 June 2015|access-date=15 June 2015|first=Stephen|last=Farrand|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150618232456/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-3/live-report|archive-date=18 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> The two attackers were [[Stefan Denifl]] ({{UCI team code|IAM|2015}}) and [[Marco Marcato]] ({{UCI team code|WGG|2015}}). The pair had a lead of 2' 30" on the main field as [[Branislau Samoilau]] ({{UCI team code|CCC|2015}}) was chasing them.<ref name="Live 3" /> Denifl got to the top of the climb first to rake in twenty points. By the top of the pass, snow was covering the sides of the road and the field was 3' 20" back. The riders put [[gilet]]s on before the descent, which lasted almost {{convert|40|km|1|abbr=off}}. Samoilau succeeded in joining the escape during the downhill.<ref name="Live 3" />

The competitors replenished their food stock at the [[Glossary of cycling#feed zone|feed zone]] situated shortly after the downhill section. The main field started accelerating, with the team of the leader [[Tom Dumoulin]], {{UCI team code|TGA|2015}} doing most of the work at the front. Realising this breakaway was gaining ground, {{UCI team code|SAX}} came to the fore to help, resulting in the gap going down gradually.<ref name="Live 3"/> There was {{convert|30|km|1|abbr=off}} to cover as the gap was hovering around 4' 30".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/in-form_sagan_beats_the_gc_riders_in_switzerland/|title=In-form Sagan beats the GC riders in Switzerland|website=CyclingQuotes.com|publisher=JJnet.dk A/S|date=15 June 2015|access-date=15 June 2015|last=Axelgaard|first=Emil|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150620031556/http://cyclingquotes.com/news/in-form_sagan_beats_the_gc_riders_in_switzerland/|archive-date=20 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

At the foot of the Zona Cumiasca climb, with {{convert|19|km|1|abbr=off}} remaining, the gap had shrunk significantly. The peloton formed [[sprint train]]s to better position their leaders for the ascent. Marcato was soon dropped from the breakaway and Denifl won the mountain points. At that point, Denifl and Samoilau had only a thirty-second gap over the depleting field. The catch was effectuated with {{convert|8.7|km|1|abbr=off}} to race. [[Michael Albasini]] ({{UCI team code|BEX men|2015}}) attacked, soon followed by [[Jan Bakelants]] ({{UCI team code|ALM|2015}}). With the two escapees enjoying only a ten-second advantage, [[Sergio Henao]] ({{UCI team code|SKY|2015}}) accelerated and passed them. The trio was ultimately reeled in. [[Rafał Majka]] ({{UCI team code|SAX|2015}}) was working at the front of the small leading group to bring back the attackers to give his team leader [[Peter Sagan]] a chance at victory.<ref name=CN3/> In the last few kilometres, Sagan took over from Majka himself. He followed [[Daniel Moreno]] ({{UCI team code|KAT|2015}}), who had chased down [[Esteban Chaves]] ({{UCI team code|BEX men|2015|nolink=yes}}), passing him to take victory.<ref name=CN3>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-3/results|title=Tour de Suisse: Sagan wins in Olivone|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=15 June 2015|access-date=15 June 2015|first=Laura|last=Weislo|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617035010/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-3/results|archive-date=17 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/peter-sagan-wins-stage-three-of-the-tour-de-suisse-thomas-fourth-overall-177045|title=Peter Sagan wins stage three of the Tour de Suisse; Thomas fourth overall|work=[[Cycling Weekly]]|date=15 June 2015|access-date=15 June 2015|first=Stuart|last=Clarke|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617185831/http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/peter-sagan-wins-stage-three-of-the-tour-de-suisse-thomas-fourth-overall-177045|archive-date=17 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

The first {{convert|60|km|1|abbr=off}} were flat until the peloton reached the [[Wildhaus Pass]], a Category 2 test of {{convert|8.9|km|1|abbr=off}} in length. Then there were three Category 3 climbs on offer, which were the {{convert|1.8|km|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} Kirchberg climb repeated three times as the riders accomplished a loop. There were however a number of uncategorized rises, especially one with about {{convert|5|km|1|abbr=off}} to cover, that was expected to play a role in the outcome. The finishing {{convert|900|m|1|abbr=off}} were straight with a consistent incline.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=40–43}}

===Stage 5===

'''17 June 2015&nbsp;— [[Quarten|Unterterzen]] to [[Sölden]] (Austria), {{convert|237.3|km|1|abbr=on}}'''

[[File:Oetztaler Rettenbachferner.jpg|thumb|After more than {{convert|200|km|1|abbr=off}} of racing, the climb to the [[Rettenbach glacier]] awaited.]]
This was the [[queen stage]] of the 2015 Tour de Suisse and was also the longest stage the race featured in the last twenty years.<ref name="Preview"/> The first difficulty of the day was the {{convert|34.4|km|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} [[hors catégorie]] [[Bielerhöhe Pass]] which summited at {{convert|2071|m|1|abbr=off}} of altitude and at that point, the riders were already in Austria after a brief visit to [[Liechtenstein]]. Following that difficulty, the run-in to Sölden offered a respite until the cyclists reached the town and tackled the stage's second [[hors catégorie]] climb to the [[Rettenbach glacier]], which took them to an altitude of {{convert|2669|m|1|abbr=off}}. The competitors rode the [[Ötztal Glacier Road]] from Sölden to get to the finish line.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=44–47}}

The overall race leader [[Tom Dumoulin]] ({{UCI team code|TGA|2015}}) said before the stage that if he lost less than one minute and a half to the pure climbers, he could still win the Tour by taking that time back on the final stage's time trial.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-suisse-giant-alpecin-keep-dumoulin-safe-in-leaders-jersey|title=Tour de Suisse: Giant-Alpecin keep Dumoulin safe in leader's jersey|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=16 June 2015|access-date=17 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617034205/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-suisse-giant-alpecin-keep-dumoulin-safe-in-leaders-jersey|archive-date=17 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> The previous stage's victor [[Michael Matthews (cyclist)|Michael Matthews]] ({{UCI team code|BEX men|2015}}) was a non-starter, saying he had gotten what he wanted from the race: a stage win.<ref name="CN5">{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-5/results|title=Tour de Suisse: Pinot wins on Rettenbachgletscher|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=17 June 2015|access-date=17 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617222304/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-5/results|archive-date=17 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> A breakaway formed in the opening {{convert|10|km|1|abbr=off}} of the race.

With {{convert|90|km|1|abbr=off}} to go the gap was miscalculated by the race organisers as there were unrealistic fluctuations in the official timing throughout the long stretch of flat road before the final climb. With {{convert|82|km|1|abbr=off}} to cover, {{UCI team code|AST|2015}} took control of the peloton for their leader [[Jakob Fuglsang]].<ref name="Live5"/> {{UCI team code|FDJ|2015}} and {{UCI team code|KAT|2015}} started helping the chase at the front, since those teams had riders aiming for victory ([[Thibaut Pinot]] and the [[Daniel Moreno]]–[[Simon Špilak]] duo, respectively).<ref name="TdS Stage5" /> With {{convert|30|km|1|abbr=off}} to the start of the big final climb, the gap was around six and a half minutes. The break fractured, just as the peloton did later when they hit the Rettenbach ascent.<ref name="Live5"/> Dumoulin was dropped almost at the beginning of it but resisted, climbing at his own pace.<ref name="TdS Stage5" /> Špilak attacked with {{convert|8|km|1|abbr=off}} remaining and dangled in front of a select group.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/06/race-report/thibaut-pinot-climbs-to-tour-de-suisse-stage-5-win-gc-lead_374192|title=Thibaut Pinot climbs to Tour de Suisse stage 5 win, GC lead|work=[[VeloNews]]|date=17 June 2015|access-date=17 June 2015|first=Spencer|last=Powlison|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150617211456/http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/06/race-report/thibaut-pinot-climbs-to-tour-de-suisse-stage-5-win-gc-lead_374192|archive-date=17 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

Early breaker Denifl was alone in front and had about two minutes of an advantage with {{convert|4|km|1|abbr=off}} to go. Behind, [[Domenico Pozzovivo]] placed an acceleration that put the lead group in difficulty, but he was brought back. The time gap rapidly decreased, due to dubious time monitoring again.<ref name="Live5"/> Pinot launched an attack from the group, but Špilak had the resources to keep up with him for a while but was ultimately dropped. Pinot passed the passive Denifl before the arch signaling the last kilometre (''[[Glossary of cycling#flamme rouge|flamme rouge]]'') and took a solo victory. Pozzovivo finished second while Špilak settled for third. However, it became soon apparent that Dumoulin would not lose much more than the minute and a half that was his objective. He passed the line 1' 37" down on Pinot.<ref name="CN5" /> "I'm very happy, it was important for me and the team. We came here to win a stage, and I had good legs today. I've got a lot of confidence now, that's important for the [[2015 Tour de France|Tour de France]]. And it's true, racing in Switzerland seems to suit me", said Pinot. "The objective is to win overall here, but the [[rouleur]]s like [Geraint] Thomas and [Tom] Dumoulin aren't far back", he added. "It'll be a long and difficult time trial [on stage nine]. We'll see what happens on the day."<ref name="Live5"/>

'''18 June 2015&nbsp;— [[Wil]] to [[Biel/Bienne]], {{convert|193.1|km|1|abbr=on}}'''

[[File:Swiss-bienne-city-1.JPG|thumb|The finishing town of [[Biel/Bienne]] saw [[Peter Sagan]] take his second win at the 2015 Tour de Suisse. Pictured here is the [[Lake Biel]] close to the town.]]
This stage contained only one categorised ascent midway through it and was a Category 3 affair named Auensteinstrasse. However, there were numerous uncategorized rises on the course to Biel/Bienne and the total elevation gain for the stage was {{convert|1167|m|1|abbr=off}}. Two intermediate sprints came before the run into town in the final {{convert|40|km|1|abbr=off}}.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=48–51}}

As the stage started, there were 145 riders remaining in the race, as only seven entrants had abandoned since the start of the race. The day's breakers were [[Axel Domont]] ({{UCI team code|ALM|2015}}), [[Marek Rutkiewicz]] ({{UCI team code|CCC|2015}}), [[Matej Mohorič]] ({{UCI team code|TCG|2015}}) and [[Jérôme Baugnies]] ({{UCI team code|WGG|2015}}).

===Stage 7===

'''19 June 2015&nbsp;— Biel/Bienne to [[Düdingen]], {{convert|164.2|km|1|abbr=on}}'''

[[File:Alexander Kristoff.JPG|thumb|{{UCI team code|KAT|2015}} rider [[Alexander Kristoff]] ''(pictured in 2009)'' won stage seven's [[bunch sprint]] finish.]]
Stage 7 was a flat stage except for three Category 3 climbs in the second half of the stage. The opening {{convert|60|km|1|abbr=off}} were totally flat. After {{convert|91|km|1|abbr=off}}, the riders tackled the finishing circuit twice. During that circuit, the first climb was the {{convert|1.1|km|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} Freiburgstrasse. There was a descent, then the Hauptstrasse climb was covered. During the second circuit, the Freiburgstrasse was attacked again. This last difficulty was situated {{convert|19|km|1|abbr=off}} from the finish line. The final {{convert|800|m|1|abbr=off}} were steep.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=52–55}}

World road race champion [[Michał Kwiatkowski]] of the {{UCI team code|QST|2015}} squad made attempts at escaping before the peloton finally let him go {{convert|20|km|1|abbr=off}} into the race. He was joined by [[Silvan Dillier]] ({{UCI team code|BMC|2015}}), [[Daryl Impey]] ({{UCI team code|BEX men|2015}}) and [[Axel Domont]] ({{UCI team code|ALM|2015}}).<ref name="TdS Stage7">{{cite news|title=Alexander Kristoff powers to win stage 7|url=http://www.tourdesuisse.ch/en/news/news-detail/news/alexander-kristoff-powers-to-win-stage-7/|access-date=7 July 2015|work=[[Tour de Suisse]]|date=19 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150629204311/http://www.tourdesuisse.ch/en/news/news-detail/news/alexander-kristoff-powers-to-win-stage-7/|archive-date=29 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> After the break was resolved, the peloton was content in letting the gap increase to 3' 15" with {{convert|129|km|1|abbr=off}} of racing remaining. The best placed rider in this quartet was Impey, 29' 18" down on race leader [[Thibaut Pinot]] ({{UCI team code|FDJ|2015}}). The average speed of the first hour was {{convert|47.7|km/h|1|abbr=on}}. {{UCI team code|SAX|2015}} and {{UCI team code|TGA|2015}} dictated the pace, pulling back thirty seconds. With {{convert|88|km|1|abbr=off}} to go, the race passed through the village of [[Misery-Courtion]], at which point the gap stood at 2' 50". A crash occurred in the outskirts of Misery-Courtion, involving [[Ben Hermans]] and [[Manuel Senni]] (both with {{UCI team code|BMC|2015|nolink=yes}}). They were able to remount their bikes and rejoined the main field.<ref name="Live7">{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-7/live-report|title=Live coverage of stage 7 of the Tour de Suisse|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=19 June 2015|access-date=20 June 2015|first=Barry|last=Ryan|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150620084322/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-7/live-report|archive-date=20 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

'''20 June 2015&nbsp;— [[Bern]] to Bern, {{convert|152.5|km|1|abbr=on}}'''

[[File:2015 Tour de Suisse, Stage 8.png|thumb|Stage eight's {{convert|38.7|km|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} circuit in and around [[Bern]] was navigated four times.]]

It however contained four Category 3 ascents. The event featured four circuits of {{convert|38.7|km|1|abbr=off}} around town, on the same course that was to be used in the stage nine time trial. The two climbs present in the loops gave mountain points on the last two laps only. The riders first took on the {{convert|800|m|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} Category 3 Liebewill, then it was the {{convert|400|m|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} Aargauerstalden climb. The stage finished on the flat, a [[plateau]] after the latter ascent, featuring a number of technical turns.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=56–59}}

With {{convert|75|km|1|abbr=off}} to go in the stage, the gap stood at 2' 12". However, {{UCI team code|SKY|2015|nolink=yes}}, {{UCI team code|TCG|2015|nolink=yes}} and {{UCI team code|FDJ|2015|nolink=yes}} were still working to keep the escapees in range. The time difference to the escape was remaining stationary at around two minutes at the {{convert|40|km|1|abbr=off}} to go marker. As the peloton passed through the finish line to undertake the last lap of the circuit, [[Jakob Fuglsang]] of {{UCI team code|AST|2015}} abandoned the race due to stomach problems.

===Stage 9===

'''21 June 2015&nbsp;— Bern to Bern, {{convert|38.4|km|1|abbr=on}}, [[individual time trial]] (ITT)'''

[[File:Bern luftaufnahme.png|thumb|left|[[Bern]] hosted the last two stages of the 2015 Tour de Suisse.]]
The lengthy individual time trial featured a climb in the middle of it, but no mountains classification points were on offer. The course was technical and featured several turns. It was the same course that was raced four times in stage eight, except that the finish line was not situated at the same place. Midway through the stage, the riders took on the difficulty of the day, the {{convert|800|m|1|abbr=off|adj=on}} Liebewill climb. There were other small climbs situated on the course.{{sfn|Tour de Suisse|2015|pp=60–63}}

The final general classification of the race was decided on this stage, and a majority of the observers believed that Pinot would lose his lead since he is not a great time trialist. [[Geraint Thomas]] of {{UCI team code|SKY|2015}} was only 34 seconds down coming into the stage and was among the favourites to take the overall victory. [[Tom Dumoulin]] ({{UCI team code|TGA|2015}}) won the short prologue and was a contender for overall victory as a time trial specialist, but he had 1' 24" to make up. Another contender for the overall win was [[Simon Špilak]] of {{UCI team code|KAT|2015}} (47 seconds down).<ref>{{cite web|title=Tour de Suisse time trial could favour Thomas, Dumoulin|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-suisse-time-trial-could-favour-thomas-dumoulin|website=cyclingnews.com|access-date=9 July 2015|date=18 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150629055135/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour-de-suisse-time-trial-could-favour-thomas-dumoulin|archive-date=29 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> Fourth-placed [[Domenico Pozzovivo]] ({{UCI team code|ALM|2015}}) was an enigma, as he had mixed performances in time trials throughout his career.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/15401/Domenico-Pozzovivo-Ive-done-the-time-trial-of-my-life-and-it-motivates-me-for-the-rest-of-the-Vuelta.aspx|title=Domenico Pozzovivo: "I've done the time trial of my life and it motivates me for the rest of the Vuelta"|work=VeloNation|date=4 September 2013|access-date=20 June 2015|first=Ben|last=Atkins|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150620230646/http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/15401/Domenico-Pozzovivo-Ive-done-the-time-trial-of-my-life-and-it-motivates-me-for-the-rest-of-the-Vuelta.aspx|archive-date=20 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pozzovivo-stays-optimistic-despite-giro-ditalia-time-trial-losses|title=Pozzovivo stays optimistic despite Giro d'Italia time trial losses|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=22 May 2014|access-date=1 July 2015|last=Farrand|first=Stephen|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702010225/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pozzovivo-stays-optimistic-despite-giro-ditalia-time-trial-losses|archive-date=2 July 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> As far as the stage win was concerned, solo effort specialists [[Fabian Cancellara]] ({{UCI team code|TFS men|2015}}) and [[Adriano Malori]] ({{UCI team code|MOV|2015}}) were to be considered, but they had no chance of a victory in the general classification since they were too far down in the rankings.<ref name="CW8"/><ref name="Preview9">{{cite news|url=http://cyclingquotes.com/news/2015_tour_de_suisse_stage_9_preview/|title=Tour de Suisse stage 9 preview|website=CyclingQuotes.com|publisher=JJnet.dk A/S|date=20 June 2015|access-date=20 June 2015|last=Axelgaard|first=Emil|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150621005756/http://cyclingquotes.com/news/2015_tour_de_suisse_stage_9_preview/|archive-date=21 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Live9">{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-9/live-report|title=Live report stage 9|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=21 June 2015|access-date=8 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150628224950/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-suisse-2015/stage-9/live-report|archive-date=28 June 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Classification leadership==
In the 2015 Tour de Suisse, three different jerseys were awarded. For the [[general classification]], calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage, and the leader received a yellow jersey. This classification was considered the most important of the Tour de Suisse, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race. There was also a [[King of the Mountains|mountains classification]], the leadership of which was marked by a light blue jersey. In the mountains classification, points were won by reaching the top of a climb before other cyclists, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. Hors Category gave 20 points to the first rider crossing (20, 15, 10, 6, 4),<ref name=CN3/> a Category 1 was worth 12 points (12, 8, 6, 4, 2),<ref name="CN2"/> a Category 2 was worth 8 points (8, 6, 4, 2, 1)<ref name=CN3/> and a Category 3 was worth 5 points (5, 3, 2, 1).<ref name=CN3/>

The third jersey represented the points classification, marked by a white-and-red jersey. In the points classification, cyclists got points for finishing highly in a stage. A stage victory awarded 10 points, with 8 points for second, 6 for third, 4 for fourth and 2 for fifth.<ref name=CN3/> Points could also be earned at intermediate sprints location for finishing in the top three during each stage on a 6–3–1 scale.<ref name=CN3/> There was also a classification for teams, in which the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added together; the leading team at the end of the race was the team with the lowest total time.<ref name="Basics"/>

A combativity award was also attributed for the rider who had ridden the most aggressively in the eyes of the judges at the end of every stage. It could have been a rider who featured in breakaways or a cyclist who attacked often.<ref name="Basics">{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/tour-de-france/9400588/The-Tour-de-France-a-guide-to-the-basics.html|title=The Tour de France: a guide to the basics|work=[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]] Limited 2015|date=16 July 2012|access-date=1 July 2015|last=Gunter|first=Joel|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710160158/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/tour-de-france/9400588/The-Tour-de-France-a-guide-to-the-basics.html|archive-date=10 July 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>
