“I gave everything today – for Gino.”
Speaking is a visibly emotional Stefan Bissegger (24). Minutes earlier, the Thurgau had crossed the finish line of the last stage of the Tour de Suisse and thus took the lead in the 26km time trial from St. Gallen to Abtwil.
In the end it wasn’t enough to win the stage, Juan Ayuso grabbed him. But for Bissegger, who finished fourth, that turned into an afterthought on this day. Because this week – after the tragic accident of the Swiss cycling talent Gino Mäder († 26) – everything is different. “I’ll never forget that, it was extremely difficult.” Bissegger is relieved that it’s over now. “I’m glad I can go home to the family.”
The death of Gino Mäder affected the drivers. And it showed once again how dangerous the sport can be. Bissegger: “It makes you aware that it can happen to anyone. That makes it all the more difficult.”
The overall victory of the Tour of Switzerland this year goes to the Danish Mattias Skjelmose. (tired)
