10 days before the start of the Giro, the Tour de Romandie will pit only 15 teams against each other for the 79th edition of this race, which will take place from Tuesday April 28 to Sunday May 3. On the program, we will find a prologue, two stages for punchers and three mountain stages.
Pogacar arches-favors
After his demonstration on Liège-Bastogne-Liège, where he won ahead of Paul Seixas, Tadej Pogacar will obviously be the rider to follow from Tuesday to Sunday in Switzerland. The world champion will have to get rid of Primož Roglič, already a double winner of the event, the French David Gaudu and Lenny Martinez, and other outsiders like Sergio Higuita or Antonio Tiberi.
