Stage 1/Prolog (6,4km) - ITT
Prologue Start List with Start Times Order
Prologue Start List with Start Times Order
This year's 80th edition of the Tour de Suisse again starts with a prologue. Just like last year, the 6.4 kilometre route, with a start and finish in Baar, will provide short intervals and an exciting first race day. It is very possible that one or two Swiss cyclists will play a part in the fight for the daily victory and could even be the first to wear the yellow leader's jersey.
Stage 2 (187,6km)
The cyclists have to cover a distance of 187.6 kilometres on the second stage circuit with four laps around the hub in Baar. Each of these includes a category two climb towards Allenwinden. The race profile promises an exciting stage. It is uncertain whether it will mainly be the classic specialists or perhaps the climbers who will collectively make the difference in the stage win.
Stage 3 (192,6km)
The third stage takes the cyclists from Grosswangen to Rheinfelden, where the peloton will have to complete two additional circuits. From Grosswangen to the border with Germany, there are a total of six category two and three climbs on the programme. Despite this, it can be expected that there will be a mass sprint in Rheinfelden. Stage 4 (193km)
From Rheinfelden on, the cyclists tackle the fourth stage towards Champagne at Lake Neuchâtel. A route that is mainly flat takes the cyclists via Solothurn into Three-Lake Country and on to Champagne. The fourth round, too, will be concluded with an additional circuit. The sprint teams will do all it takes to use the last opportunity for a mass arrival.
Stage 5 (126,4km)
In the fourth stage from Brig-Glis to Carì the overall classification will start to take shape. At 126.4 kilometres, this stage is relatively short. On route into Ticino however, the Furka and Gotthard passes present two large obstacles on the programme. The approximately 11-kilometre final climb towards Carì is a tough one and will really set the stage for the fight between the favourites.
Stage 6 (162,8km)
The sixth stage of the Tour de Suisse starts and ends in the Lake Walen region. After the start in Weesen, the stage goes on to Lake Lucerne in Central Switzerland. In the Canton of Uri, the Klausen Pass represents the toughest climb of the day before descending into Glarnerland. Passing the starting point at Weesen, the riders face another exhilarating final climb to Amden.
Stage 7 (224,3km)
From Arbon on Lake Constance, the peloton tackles the queen's stage with a total ascent of 4,294. After 13 kilometres, the tour entourage leaves the confines of Switzerland and arrives on Austrian soil. Over the Hochtannberg Pass at 1,650 m above sea level, it goes on in the direction of Ötztal where, like last year, the climb up to the Rettenbach glacier will prove to be a tough and bitter fight between the best climbers.
Stage 8 (16,8km) - ITT
The entire second weekend of the Tour de Suisse 2016 will be held in the tourist resort of Davos. On Saturday, there is a hilly time trial course of 16.8 kilometres to tackle. This is the last chance for time trial specialists to make up time again before the final stage.
Stage 9 (117,7km)
Unlike in previous years, the final stage will not be carried out as a time trial but as a circuit in the Graubünden mountains. The route covering 117.7 kilometres takes the cyclists over the Albula and Flüela passes, inviting the leaders to tackle the final assault. It is highly likely that the final climb to the Flüela Pass will shake up the final classification once again. One way or another, the final stage will be a thrilling and top-class end to the 80th edition of the Tour de Suisse.
