Male Team 06 - 08 Sep
Tour de Romandie
378 Kilometers 3 Stages
All three stages will be broadcast on MAX and Eurosport, starting at 2pm CEST.
There will be 10-6-4″ at the three stage finishes. No bonus seconds will be attributed at the intermediate sprints.
The Tour de Romandie will play for the first time as form reference for many of the riders later competing at the World Championships in Zürich, as the two previous editions -one in October, after Van Vleuten’s win in 2022; the other one, moved forward to September, was held after Glasgow- happened before the ‘rainbow road’ was crossed.
The route scheme will be quite similar from previous occassions. A hilly opener (+1,900m in 133km) to Lausanne on Friday 6th, ending with a three-kilometer climb at just over 3%, will be followed by the tough Queen stage two on Saturday 7th, while not as brutal as in the past as it’s short and mainly one climb Vercorin (Cat-1), 9.5km at 8.2%. We will end in Morges on Sunday 8th, over the biggest elevation (+2,000m) and longest route (144km), yet with a flat finish.
