The Tour de Romandie is the first of two World Tour stage-races that takes place in Switzerland. The Western section of Switzerland, French-speaking, is the host of one of the spring's main stage-races as it features an opportunity for those eyeing the Tour de France to take important wins.
For the Giro d'Italia, it frequently works as a preparation race, as it features a very wide range of stages that suit all types of riders. It has taken place since 1947 and remains a stable race in the calendar.
