Analysis

It’s back! It was one of the WorldTour stageraces which opted not to come back to the calendar during the 2020 post-pandemic reshuffle, the Tour de Suisse now covered over a shorter span than in previous decades, eight stages instead of nine. It keeps, however, its usual two ITTs and plenty of mountains.

As explained just before, there will be two time trials: an opening, flat 11km effort in and around Frauenfeld, on Sunday 6th June; and stage seven, Saturday 12th, covering the ascent and downhill of the Oberalppass (Cat-1, 9.5km at 6.5%). The mountains will be almost everywhere, actually, with only one clear sprint chance, in Pfaffnau on Tuesday 8th.

Monday 7th, the riders will tackle the Litschstrasse (Cat-2) just before the finish in Lachen; Wednesday 9th, the Saanenmöser (Cat-2) will be crested prior to a final downhill to Gstaad; on Thursday 10th, Leukerbad will host a Cat-1 climb + non-categorized ending on stage six; and the weekend will bring the traditional, endless Alpine climbs. Stage six on Friday 11th features the Gothard (Cat-1), Lukmanierpass (Cat-1) and Sedrun (Cat-1), while the showdown on Sunday 13th will see the riders cover both Oberalp (Cat-1) and Lukmanier (Cat-1) again, before the Gothard (HC) en route to Andermatt.
