Gstaad - Campus Sursee, Oberkirch
Stage Overview
Commentary David Loosli
Stage 2 from Gstaad to Campus Sursee, Oberkirch will be tough going for the cyclists. With over 2,200 metres of elevation gain, this is the most challenging stage on paper. The biggest hurdle of the day is certainly the Schallenberg in Emmental. In Entlebuch the course features several other shorter climbs. With the last mountain prize around 20 kilometres from the finish it is unlikely that there will be a bunch sprint.
