Swiss defends lead: Hirschi wins the Tour of Luxembourg

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

The 25-year-old from Bern successfully defended the yellow leader’s jersey he won on Saturday in the final stage over 177 kilometers from Mersch to the Luxembourg district of Limpertsberg.

Hirschi resists the attacks of his first pursuer Ben Healy and extends his small lead thanks to a time bonus in an intermediate sprint. Ultimately, he triumphed three seconds ahead of American Brandon McNulty, his teammate at UAE Emirates. Healy, who took the lead with a solo victory on Friday, had to settle for third place, five seconds behind.
