Stage four of the Tour de Suisse will be an easier day, however one that is likely to suit the same type of riders that have been in the battle in the last few days. There will be 191 kilometers on the menu, with only a hilltop at the start that can see a strong group go up the road. Most of the stage is flat, until the riders arrive at Sattel.
A breakaway can go for the win in this day, however the climbers and puncheurs are likely to come to the front and battle for the stage win, aswell as the yellow jersey.
The ascent features 3.6 kilometers at 7.9% average gradient, with an easier finale and rougher gradients throughout most of it. There will be a furious leadout into the ascent, and it’s likely to be an explosive ascent.
The climb summits with 15.5 kilometers to go, which sees a small plateau and then a very fast descent will lead the riders into the final 5 kilometers, where the streets won’t be technical, into a lakeside finale.
