The profile of the 1st stage of the Tour de Romandie
In the canton of Valais, the peloton will have to complete a 34-kilometer loop circuit three times. It will pass through Fully and Evionnaz, and will have to climb the ascent of La Rasse (2.5 km at 8.4%, including passages at more than 10%).
Finally, the runners will have to complete a 62 kilometer loop through Saxon. The ascent of Ovronnaz (8.9 km at 9.8%) with its summit 35 kilometers from the finish should make it possible to widen the gaps. But there will still be 25 kilometers of flats left afterward.
