UAE Team Emirates rider Juan Ayuso paid tribute to Gino Mader after winning Sunday's final Tour de Suisse stage and finishing second in the general classification.
The Spaniard admitted to having mixed feelings following his victory in the time-trial and finishing the event nine seconds behind overall race winner Mattias Skjelmose.
Organisers had decided to finish the race despite the death on Friday of Mader, who failed to recover from the injuries he sustained after a horrific crash the previous day.
The 26-year-old's Bahrain Victorious team announced on Saturday that they had withdrawn from the race along with the Tudor Pro Cycling and Intermarche teams.
