An unforgettable year sadly comes to its end. The Movistar Team will aim at putting the icing on top of a fantastic cake, the 2022 season of the Grand Tour victories, of almost 30 wins, of touching the sky almost every single month — and with a WWT event no less! The Blues’ first ever visit to Switzerland will be the inaugural edition of the Tour de Romandie Féminin, which, despite its late slot in the calendar, will feature the toughest mountain-top finish of the entire season.
The brave riders still competing at this point of the season will tackle on Saturday 8th the climb of Thyon: 16.9 kilometers at 6.7%, with its summit at 2,090m above sea level. Before that, 46km from the line, they will have crested the Cat-1 QOM of Suen, 13.9km at 6.9%.
The route of this year’s Romandie Féminin is completed with a demanding opening stage (2,300m elevation gain), yet with a flat finish, in Lausanne (five Cat-3 ascents), on Friday 7th, and a sprinters’ showdown, Sunday 9th, from Fribourg to Geneva, the city that held the finish of the first-ever men’s Tour de Romandie more than seventy years ago.
