The 77th edition of the Tour de Romandie will be the spring’s final stop for Enric Mas, before the Spaniard sets his sights on the Grand Tours in the summer. A challenging route, with two time trials and plenty of mountains, will play as last test for the Mallorca native after his efforts in the end of the Volta a Catalunya, finally placed amongst the best.
An ultra-technical prologue -easily a dozen turns into the 2.3km course in Payerne-, Tuesday 23rd, and a hilly 15km ITT around Oron, Friday 26th, will play balance against the two big mountain stages: Les Marécottes (Thursday 25th), over a final 10km at 7.3% from the previous climb to Les Mosses (Cat-2), and Leysin (14km at 6%), end of a Queen stage (Saturday 27th) algo including four rated climbs and 3600m elevation gain.
