British rider Adam Yates will start Sunday’s final stage of the Tour de Suisse in the yellow jersey after earning another victory on stage seven.<\/b><\/p>\n
Yates and team-mate Joao Almeida crossed the finish line together – with the Briton deemed slightly ahead of the Portuguese – and 14 seconds ahead of their nearest challenger.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old Yates has an overall lead of 31 seconds over fellow Team Emirates rider Almeida following the 118km route which started and ended in Villars-sur-Ollon.<\/p>\n
It was Yates’ second stage victory of the week and the third stage in a row in which he and Almeida have occupied the top two places.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s eighth and final stage is an uphill 15.7km time trial where riders will have to ascend nearly 900m to the finish.<\/p>\n
Yates and Almeida are well clear of Colombia’s Egan Bernal in third place in the standings, so it is expected to be a battle for first place between team-mates on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Britons Tom Pidcock and Oscar Onley are sitting seventh and eighth in the general classification standings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
