Following a brilliant Northern Classics campaign, Matteo Jorgenson returns to racing as what he’s already been for quite some time: the Movistar Team’s biggest value at the start of the Tour de Romandie, one whose 76th edition suits really well in terms of route.
Two time trials are into the program for the 2023 event: a prologue on Tuesday 25th, completely flat, of almost 7km in Le Bouveret; and a quite hilly route, up and down, of almost 19km on Friday 28th, in and around Châtel-Saint-Denis. Those will be the decisive stages, together with the long final climb to Thyon 2000 (almost 21km at 7.6%) on day four (Saturday 29th), also including four other rated ascents and a total 4,300m elevation gain.
