Rui Costa crossed the line first but Andreas Kron protested on stage six of the Tour de Suisse 2021 after Costa moved dramatically in his sprint, the stage eventually being awarded to Kron.

Costa (UAE Team Emirates) was relegated to second place after deviating into the path of Kron (Lotto-Soudal) with the young Dane handed the win following a decision from the race jury. Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) kept the overall lead over Jakob Fuglsang (Astana-Premier Tech) after finishing safely in the main bunch.
