The 2013 Tour de Suisse was the 77th running of the Tour de Suisse cycling stage race. It started on 8 June with an individual time trial in Quinto and ended on 16 June after another individual time trial in Flumserberg; in total, the race consisted of nine stages. It was the seventeenth race of the 2013 UCI World Tour season.
The race was won for the second successive year by Movistar Team rider Rui Costa,[2] who claimed the leader's yellow jersey after winning the final stage – a time trial, with a 10 km (6.2 mi) climb to a summit finish[3] – overturning a 13-second deficit to previous race leader Mathias Frank of the BMC Racing Team.[4] Costa was also the winner of the race's queen stage two days prior, winning into La Punt.[5] Costa's winning margin over runner-up Bauke Mollema of Blanco Pro Cycling – a stage winner during the race, winning the second stage – was sixty-two seconds,[6] while the podium was completed by Saxo–Tinkoff's Roman Kreuziger,[7] eight seconds down on Mollema and seventy behind Costa.
In the race's other classifications, Euskaltel–Euskadi rider Robert Vrečer was the winner of both the mountains and the sprints classifications, having featured in several breakaways during the nine-day race.[8] Peter Sagan (Cannondale) again won the points classification, and was the only other rider to win multiple stages during the event. Astana finished at the head of the teams classification,[9] for the second successive year.
