CyclingThursday, 12 June 2025 at 09:48
Mid-June marks the season of Tour de France prep races. After the Critérium du Dauphiné, we get the Tour of Switzerland and the Baloise Belgium Tour, of which the Swiss race holds WorldTour status. IDLProCycling.com lists all the riders taking part.
The big names, think Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel, have opted for the Critérium du Dauphiné in 2025. That leaves an opening, as in recent years, for riders aiming for a top five or podium finish in the Tour de France. Among those heading to Switzerland: João Almeida (UAE Emirates-XRG), Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers), and Ben O’Connor (Jayco AlUla).
Before the men begin their race, the women will ride their own Tour de Suisse from Thursday through Sunday. Demi Vollering, racing for FDJ-Suez, is the biggest name on the women’s start list.

- Carsapaz and Del torro were not capable of chasing Yates. They paused and looked at each other because they didn't have it in them. Yates had kept his powder dry waiting for this stage and demolished both of them. They lost Yates won. Your second guessing is utter nonsense., if either felt they could close Yates down they would have , just like they did countless times for other riders. They blew up , Yates excelled.Uphillbilly05-06-2025
- Carapaz is full of it. He is absolutely irrelevant after a rant at del Toro. Isaac had no obligations to do anything for Carapaz. It should remind one of the saying that goes lke this: "If I jump off the bridge, are you going to jump too?" If Caapaz wanted to win the Giro he should have chased Yates with or without Isaac. And if del Toro could follow, then so be it. But it was Carapaz's choice to slow down and stare at Isaac. Isaac was on the radio at times and you can bet he was being told by the Team car to do just what he was doing. Did I like that he didn't set out after Yates himself, NO. But the 21 year old was probably being instructed to do what he did, otherwise you can bet we would have heard from UAE mgmt. that Isaac chose to ignore their orders. But what we did hear was they were happy with his result. Which I think was a terrible betrayal of their young rider, who I think was capable of more than that penultimate stage showed. The Giro finished on a truly sour note as far as I'm concerned, because it was not "raced" The most crucial stage of the whole 21 stage race was simply given away, playing games with the unwritten rules of bicycle racing. "Leaders jerseys responsibility" and all that nonsense. Just RACE! It was disgraceful.

- Jos van Emden is right to speak out. The UCI’s lack of transparency and inconsistent decision-making have eroded trust among teams, riders, and fans alike. When even experienced professionals like Van Emden lose faith, it’s a clear signal that the system needs serious reform. Integrity and fairness should be at the core of any governing body, something the UCI needs to be reminded of.ahmed06-05-2025
