British rider Adam Yates held off team-mate Joao Almeida in stage eight to win the Tour de Suisse.<\/b><\/p>\n
Yates finished second in Sunday’s time trial, but it was still enough to claim overall victory by 22 seconds.<\/p>\n
It was the fourth stage in a row in which the Team Emirates riders have occupied the top two places.<\/p>\n
Lidl-Trek rider Mattias Skjelmose finished third.<\/p>\n
The time trial was a largely uphill 15.7km course to Villars-sur-Ollon and it was Almeida who recorded the fastest time of 33 minutes and 23 seconds.<\/p>\n
But the nine-second advantage was not enough to challenge the 32-second lead Yates had following his stage seven win in Villars-sur-Ollon.<\/p>\n
Britons Tom Pidcock and Oscar Onley finished sixth and eighth respectively in the overall standings.<\/p>\n
Both Yates and Almeida will soon turn their attention to the Tour de France, where they are likely to be support riders for UAE team-mate Tadej Pogacar when the event begins on 29 June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
