Chur-Neuhausen am Rheinfall
Stage Overview
Commentary David Loosli
After a few difficult stages, the sprinters’ teams are unlikely to let the opportunity for a stage win go begging. Of course in Switzerland a sprint stage will still involve climbs. A total of almost 2,400 metres awaits the cyclists which could signal opportunities for a strong breakaway group. The last two kilometres may also provide further excitement, as the route climbs steadily uphill to the Flame Rouge.
