'You have to respect it, but it sucks' – Tour de Suisse GC challenger Kévin Vauquelin criticises race leader Romain Grégoire for lack of collaboration

2025 Tour de Suisse stage 4: race leader Romain Grégoire and his closest GC rival Kévin Vauquelin sprint for fourth and fifth.

Tour de Suisse overall contender Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) has pulled no punches in his criticisms of race leader Romain Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ) over their lack of collaboration in the mountains of stage 4 to keep overall threat João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) under control.

Starting as pre-race favourite, Almeida was virtually ruled out of the overall battle after a disastrous opening stage where on technical, rainsoaked hilly terrain he lost more than three minutes to stage winner Grégoire.
