Former Cyclo-cross champion Stybar to make much awaited debut ... Stybar, a former world champion in Cyclo-cross, has only been focused on road riding since February and the Czech rider was eager to finally begin his new career at Dunkerque.
With that many successes already on his palmarès this season, the current leader of the UCI World Tour standings looks forward to yet more racing and the season highlight for any Frenchman, the Tour de France.
Fifth place, however, now belongs to Kanstantsin Sivtsov (HTC-Highroad), who was
part of the day's 16-man break and finished in 10th on the stage, 10 seconds behind Ulissi. The Belarusian started the day in 12th overall, 12:05 behind Contador, but moved up five positions to fifth, 9:12 back.
The Schleck's may be missing, as will Alberto Contador but there will be no shortage of Tour contenders with BMC's Cadel Evans favourite ahead of Sunday's prologue in St Jean de Maurienne. Also lining up will be defending champion Janez Brajkovic, Ivan Basso, Robert Gesink, Alexandre Vinokourov, Bradley Wiggins, Samuel Sanchez, Tony Martin and Juergen van den Broeck.
Italian Davide Appollonio (Sky) took out his first victory as a professional, winning the bunch sprint on the third stage of the Tour de Luxembourg over points leader Denis Galimzyanov (Katusha).
Saxo Bank's NIcki Sorensen is trying to gap up to the two leaders. The gaps aren't large here
Nicki Sorensen gives chase, too.
"It wasn't easy to win this Tour de Suisse," Demol said in a press release issued by the US-registered eam.

Kruijswijk calls Tour de Suisse better than Giro d'Italia
No he doesn't.
the Giro was the best experience to measure himself against the great riders. “Yet the Tour of Switzerland gives me more satisfaction."
jobiwan said:The headline is a bit misleading, as all he says is he enjoyed his performance more.
Perhaps "Kruijswijk enjoyed Suisse more than Giro"
