The
Tour de Romandie will be the final stage-race of the spring period, and the last before the Giro d'Italia. The Swiss race every year attracts some of the best stage-racers in the world for it's climbing and time-trial tests, and this year will be no exception. We
preview the prologue.
The race opens up with a short and explosive prologue in Saint-Imier. It's not so usual nowadays to have such a small time-trial at World Tour level, but the Swiss race retains it's tradition and it will open up some gaps into the coming days.
With 7 tricky corners, a rather uphill start and downhill finish, this is an effort that riders can't really afford to pace - it's virtually an all-out effort from start to finish.
Prologue: Saint-Imier - Saint-Imier, 3.4 kilometers
