4th on the Tour of Switzerland

Finishing 4th on the 2013 Tour of Switzerland, Thibaut scored his first place in the top-5 on a World Tour stage race. Consistency marked his week: he crossed the line 3rd in Crans-Montana, 8th in Meiringen, 4th in La Punt and 6th in Flumserberg’s time trial. Unfortunately insufficient to stand on the podium, but finishing just behind riders such as Rui Costa, Bauke Mollema or Roman Kreuziger put him on the right track before the Tour.
