About the race

Tour de Suisse 2026, five days without a real transition

The Tour de Suisse 2026 is short, but its density changes everything: Sondrio, Locarno, Bad Ragaz, the Aarburg time trial, and the big day in Villars-sur-Ollon follow each other in just five days. The route leaves almost no real transition: sprinters have no quiet day, puncheurs must pass everywhere, and the overall favorites must manage the time trial before more than 4,000 m of elevation on the queen stage.

To play

A compact format that punishes poor choices

With only five stages, a selection mistake is hard to recover from. Riders need to be able to score early, not blow up in the Aarburg time trial, and keep enough freshness for Villars-sur-Ollon.

✓Sondrio is already classified as difficult: the opening can eliminate too fragile profiles.

✓Locarno and Bad Ragaz keep a hilly terrain where bonuses and placement can count.

✓The Aarburg time trial gives real value to the overall rouleurs.

✓Villars-sur-Ollon, with over 4,000 m of elevation, requires a climber still fresh on the last day.
