From the 15th to 22nd of June the World Tour peloton will tackle the
Tour de Suisse, one of the hardest races in the calendar and the last of the 'big 7' one-week stage-races in the calendar. We
preview stage 7.
Another difficult day marked by the steep climbs and where most of the action should wait for the final kilometers. The summit finish in Emmetten will be very difficult and will set the stage for another GC battle.
Stage 7: Neuhausen am Rheinfall - Emmetten, 207.3 kilometers
The start to the day is hilly and explosive, and could see a very strong group go up the road. The day overall is not easy at all, and the fact that it packs 207 kilometers in distance will definitely be felt at the end of the day - on what is already the seventh day of racing.
However all the action should be saved for the final combination of climbs. The penultimate one to Bürgenstock is 5.5 kilometers long at 7.9% and ends with 18 kilometers to go. An incredibly fast descent will follow and in a flash the riders will be on the base of the final ascent.
Climbing to Emmetten, the riders will encounter 3.9 kilometers at 8.1%, a rather short effort but a steep one, in which further differences can be created.
