Two-time champion Chris Froome (Team Sky) will be the third to last rider down the ramp at the Tour de Romandie prologue on Tuesday afternoon, heading off just after former teammate Richie Porte (BMC) at 16.27.
Great Britain will almost certainly have a leader of the race at some point, with Mark McNally (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) the first rider out of the start house at 13.50.
Katusha have decided to send defending champion Ilnur Zakarin out as their first rider, with Simon Spilak the last rider out of the gate at 16.29.
