Joao Almeida won the closing time trial on Sunday and Adam Yates finished second to seal overall victory as the UAE pair maintained their domination of the Tour of Switzerland.
Almeida started the final time trial, 15.7km uphill from the headquarters of the International Cycling Union in Aigle to the resort of Villars-sur-Ollon, 31 seconds behind overall leader Yates.
At the age of 31, Yates confirmed his return to form after suffering concussion in a crash at the Tour UAE in February. He collected his 28th victory as a professional and his first in a major stage race. "I'm still out of breath because it was such a hard climb, but one thing I had in the back of my mind for a while was the 2019 Tirreno-Adriatico where I lost the TT on the last day by one second and this had lived rent-free in my head for many years so it's finally good to win a race and win it with a TT."
