Onley pips Almeida to Tour of Switzerland fifth stage win
Scottish rider Oscar Onley won the fifth stage of the Tour of Switzerland yesterday by a tyre's length from Joao Almeida after an uphill sprint. The 22-year- old Onley claimed the second major win of his career at the end of a mountainous 183.5km from La Punt to Sant Maria with a head-to-head battle to the line. 'I felt good, and just gave it a go on the last climb,' Onley said. 'I don't win often and I've had a quite a few podiums so far this year, or quite close results, so to pull it off today is really nice for myself and my teammates, because they do a really good job every day, today was no different. 'It's nice to be able to pay them back now and a again,' he added. Austrian Felix Gall was third 23 seconds behind the Picnic PostNL youngster. Frenchman Kevin Vauquelin took the overall lead from compatriot Romain Gregoire, who struggled and finished more than six minutes behind Onley. Two-time former world champion Julian Alaphilippe moved to second, 29 seconds behind Vauquelin with Portuguese rider Almeida third and Onley fourth. It was an emotional day of racing held in memory of Gino Maeder, a 26-year-old Swiss rider who died of his injuries following a high-speed crash on a descent on the 2023 Tour of Switzerland.

Oscar Onley shows credentials by beating Tadej Pogacar's lieutenant to line
With just over two weeks until the Tour de France, Britain's 22-year-old Oscar Onley has set out his stall by winning stage five of the Tour de Suisse in a photo-finish sprint ahead of João Almeida after a brutal day in the mountains between La Punt and Santa Maria in Calanca. It is the man from Kelso's second professional win (after he took a stage of the Tour Down Under in 2024) and the strong performance sets him in good stead before La Grande Boucle, starting on July 5, where he will be a key general classification (GC) rider for his team Picnic PostNL. Not only did he beat Almeida, Tadej Pogacar's key UAE Team Emirates XRG lieutenant, on the queen stage of the race, he also finished ahead of seasoned Tour de France riders such as Ben O'Connor (Jayco AlUla) and Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor). The victory proved the young man's credentials as a climber as he moved up the GC to fourth place, 1min 21sec behind the race leader Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-B&B Hotels).
