After the efforts of the last few days, the race starts again from Chur-Neuhausen am Rheinfall: 186,7 km which, despite the 2 GPM second category to climb in a very undulating first part of the track and 2.391 meters of altitude difference, seem to wink at the fast wheels in the group. The escapees of the day are Harry Sweeny (EF Education-EasyPost), Stefan Kung, Romain Gregoire (Groupama-FDJ) e Mauro Schmid (Team Jayco AlUla), who passes first on the Wildhaus GPM (8,9 km with an average slope of 6,8% and maximum of 18%) and on that of Hemberg (6,2 km with an average slope of 5,5% and maximum of 18,4%). Behind the frontrunners, a group of counterattackers forms, which includes bilbao hair, Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious) and Ewen Costiou (Arkéa-B&B Hotels), which however has a short life, while it arrives the news of the withdrawal of Jan Christen (UAE Team Emirates-XRG). Gregory he is the first fugitive to lose contact, while kung passes first to the flying finish line of Lomis e Schmid wins the Tissot Sprint, taking in 3" of bonus. The three are reabsorbed shortly before the sprint, which rewards Jordy Meeus (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) ahead of David Ballerini (XDS Astana Team).
