Follow us on GoogleWith the Critérium du Dauphiné behind us, we’ve already seen the key preparation race for the Tour de France, but the Tour de Suisse is still well worth watching. These days, many of the biggest stars skip the Alpine race due to tighter scheduling, which opens the door for other riders to shine in the lead-up to the Tour. IDLProCycling.com brings you up to speed!

No Jonas Vingegaard, Tadej Pogacar, or Remco Evenepoel in Switzerland this year. In 2025, many riders still choose to go to altitude training after the Critérium du Dauphiné, and with the Tour de Suisse starting just one week later, it’s much harder to fit both into the schedule.
Egan Bernal remains the last rider to win both the Tour de Suisse and the Tour de France in the same year, back in 2019, and that’s unlikely to change this year. Defending champion Adam Yates won’t be racing, but last year’s runner-up João Almeida, currently in impressive form, will be there.

Stage 2, Monday, June 16: Aarau - Schwarzsee (177.0 km)
Stage two is also one for the punchy types, although we do not reach the steep gradients of day one. The last thirty kilometers are purely uphill, with a false flat profile, except for the last five hundred meters.

Stage three of the Tour of Switzerland features even more elevation gain than the previous days: a total of 2,881 meters. The bulk of that comes in the final forty kilometers, where the climbs come in rapid succession. The final 3.4 kilometers average a 5.3% incline.

Stage 4, Wednesday, June 18: Heiden - Piuro (193.2 km)
In stage four, the riders head into Italy, but to get there, they first have to cross the Splügen Pass (8.9 km at 7%, reaching 2,117 meters in elevation). This is the only major obstacle of the day after about 100 kilometers, although the final kilometers also rise gradually with a false flat incline.

Starting from La Punt, the route includes 4,000 meters of elevation gain, finishing on the steep Castenada climb.

Stage 6, Friday, June 20: Chur - Neuhausen (186.7 km)
The sprinters who are still in the race get their first real opportunity in stage six. Although, in Switzerland, that's always relative, there are still over 2,000 meters of climbing to conquer. The first half of the stage includes two serious climbs.
Winner

Stage 7, Saturday, June 21: Neuhausen - Emetten (207.3 km)
In stage seven, we will be back near where we started the race: Küssnacht. However, we finish in Emetten, on a 3.9 kilometer climb at eight percent. A chance for the breakaway, or will the GC contenders take over?
Winner
