Michael Albasini (Orica GreenEdge) w spektakularny sposób, zapewnił sobie zwycięstwo na 8. etapie Tour de Suisse. Rui Costa (Movistar) przystąpi do ostatniego etapu w koszulce lidera.
Przedostatni etap wyścigu dookoła Szwajcarii, to typowo górski odcinek z Bischofszell do Arosa o długości 148 km. Ostatnie 30 km praktycznie prowadziły pod górę. Na tym odcinku znajdowały się dwie górskie premie. Jedna drugiej kategorii, a prowadząca do mety oznaczona była kategorią specjalną.
Wkrótce na atak zdecydowali się: Peter Velits (Omega Pharma-Quick Step), Thomas Dekker (Garmin Barracuda), Michael Albasini (Orica GreenEdge) oraz Remy Cusin (Team Type 1 – Sanofi). Czwórka na 74 kilometrze miała już 7 minut i 6 sekund przewagi.
Gdy asfalt zaczął mocno unosić się w górę, od czołówki odpadł Holender oraz Francuz. Albasini i Velits we dwójkę wspinali się w kierunku mety. Na 30 km przed końcem, duet miał w zapasie blisko 5 minut.
Wkrótce tempa Szwajcara nie wytrzymał również Słowak. Albasini był tego dnia jednak bardzo mocny i nie zamierzał się poddawać. Za nim rozpoczęły się harce w grupie faworytów. Mocniej pociągnął Frank Schleck (RadioShack-Nissan-Trek). Nieco z tyłu został lider – Rui Costa (Movistar).
Albasini zdołał jako pierwszy dojechać na metę, gdzie uzyskał 1 minutę i 15 sekund przewagi nad Mikelem Nieve (Euskaltel-Euskadi). Trzeci z tą samą stratą był Levi Leipheimer (Omega Pharma – Quick Step). Portugalczyk zdołał utrzymać koszulkę lidera, jednak jego przewaga znacznie zmalała.
