Rated ascents:

• Km 205.7: Vollèges, category 3
• Km 217.3: Verbier, hors category

The Race: The day's break was mopped up a few kilometers before the summit of the climb to Verbier. Then, near the top, Johan Chaves blasted off, holding a slim lead over Roman Kreuziger and Bauke Mollema to the end.

Tony Martin showed he had good climbing chops today by finishing just 17 seconds behind the Colombian climber. That let Martin extend his lead over Tom Dumoulin to 51 seconds with just one stage remaining in the 2014 Tour of Switzerland.

Sunday's stage ends with an hors category climb to Saas-Fee.
