Tour de Romandie 2026 - Preview

The 79th Tour de Romandie kicks off with a 3.2 km prologue in Villars-sur-Glâne before getting stuck into five extremely hilly stages in a race that is built for climbers. With 17 classified climbs spread across the week there is absolutely nothing on offer for the sprinters as the race navigates around Romandie in Switzerland.

Following the prologue, stage 1 is pretty much flat, except that is for the huge 12km ascent at Ovronnaz with its eye watering 9.1% average gradient. Stage 2 is a relentlessly lumpy stage with no giant peaks, so one for the riders who love short punchy climbs.

Stages 3 and 4 return to the high ground with stage 4 taking the title of Queen stage as it covers four huge mountains – including both sides of the Jaunpass and the Saanenmöser. There is only one summit finish though and that is reserved for the final stage, the 178.2-kilometre journey to Leysin which is sure to be a showdown of epic proportions.

Last year’s winner, João Almeida, is absent this year but second placed Lenny Martinez returns to do what he can to prevent Tadej Pogačar strolling to victory. Also looking to put in a strong ride are Florian Lipowitz (third in last year’s Tour de France), multiple grand Tour winner Primož Roglič and home favorite Mauro Schmid.
