published 6 June 2021

The Tour de Suisse returns for 2021 after missing a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The week-long stage race takes place in June as usual, albeit earlier in the month due to the Tour de France shifting forward in the calendar to accommodate the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Elsewhere Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) makes a return to road racing after their MTB exploits over the past month, while Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo-Visma) will start his first race since taking an indefinite leave from the sport in January. Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) was also meant to return to road racing at the Tour de Suisse, but will now miss the race after breaking his collarbone in a training crash.
