Rank: UCI WorldTour

The Tour de Romandie is a six-stage race in the French-speaking area of Switzerland that has established itself as one of the key events leading up to the Tour de France in July, as well as being a prestigious event in its own right.

In the past decade, Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Cadel Evans have all won the race directly before going on to win the Tour de France.

Traditionally, the race features time trials, hilly, flat and mountain stages.

Full details of the 2019 race route have yet to be released, but the 73rd edition of the race will commence with a time trial in Neuchâtel.

We know that we can expect a short, sharp critrium in Romont on stage three, and that the conclusion will be a potentially GC shuffling time trial in Genève.
