Uma batalha interna na
UAE Team Emirates decidiu a classificação geral da Volta à Suiça. Depois de dominarem todas as etapas de montanha,
Adam Yates e
João Almeida enfrentaram-se para decidir o vencedor da classificação geral.
As melhores pernas do dia vieram do trepador português, que parece estar na melhor forma da sua carreira, vencendo duas etapas e terminando em segundo na classificação geral esta semana, e preparando Yates para mais duas - e ganho de tempo na etapa 4. Yates tinha a vantagem à entrada da etapa 8 e acabou por ter vantagem suficiente para defender a camisola amarela.
Mattias Skjelmose foi terceiro no dia e, beneficiando de uma má etapa de Egan Bernal (apenas 9º melhor tempo), também subiu para terceiro na classificação geral. Seguiram-se Matthew Riccitello e Tom Pidcock, enquanto Lenny Martínez, Pelayo Sánchez e David de la Cruz fizeram todos uma etapa muito forte para figurar no Top 10 do contrarrelógio de 15 quilómetros que terminou no topo da subida para Villars-sur-Ollon.
