Last year's winner Adam Yates and third-placed Damiano Caruso both return to this six day-stage race in Romandie, the French speaking area of west Switzerland to battle again in the region's beautiful mountain scenery.

Starting with a minuscule 2.3km prologue in the town of Payerne, the 77th Tour de Romandie will cover a total of 657km and pack in over 11,000m of climbing with a time trial on stage three and summit finishes on both stages two and four at Les Marécottes and Leysin.

Favourite to repeat his victory of last year will be Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) who will be backed up by a strong team including Pavel Sivakov, Felix Großschartner and Juan Ayuso. Leading the challenge will be the ever improving Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers) winner of the recent Giro d’Abruzzo Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Qazaqstan Team) and young French star Lenny Martinez (Groupama - FDJ).

The course isn’t just for the climbers though as with a prologue and a mid-race time trial many TT specialists are on the start sheet too including Josh Tarling and Ethan Hayter from (INEOS Grenadiers) and Rémi Cavagna (Movistar Team).

Stage four, the Queen stage of the race lived up to all the hype providing a pulsating finale on the finishing climb. The win and race lead were both up for grabs and it was Richard Carapaz (EF Education–EasyPost) who took the stage, but only just from the fast approaching Florian Lipowitz (Bora-Hansgrohe).

Behind the race for the overall was just as exciting as overnight leader Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) cracked opening the door for another young Spaniard Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers) to pull on the yellow jersey.

The final stage, stage five sees the race cover 150km around the town of Vernier so read on to find out where to watch the Tour de Romandie 2024 cycling action live, wherever you are in the world.

Tour de Romandie 2024 stages

The race starts with a very short 2.3km prologue which will be contested by the overall favorites, keen to install a pecking order early on, and the short TT specialists looking for a chance to gain a leaders jersey in a big stage race. 

Stage one follows the next day and it’s a lumpy 165.7km from Château d’Oex to Fribourg which will likely end in a sprint finish, although there are very view big name sprinters on the start sheet.

Stage two is where the GC action will really kick off with two huge mountains and a summit finish at Salvan/Les Marécottes. This 10km final ascent, averaging 7.3%, has slopes maxing out at 14% so will be a proper test for the climbers.

Those same climbers will the next day have to take on the 15.5km continuously undulating time trial around Oron and utilise another skill needed to win a stage race.

Stage four from Saillon to Leysin is 151.7km and takes the riders into higher territory with five classified climbs including the 10km summit finish at the end.

After this the GC battle should be stitched up with just the laps around Vernier to contend with on the final stage which will likely end in a sprint.

Prologue | Tuesday April 23, | Payerne - Payerne. 2.3km

Stage 1 | Wednesday April 24, Château d’Oex - Fribourg. 165.7km

Stage 2 | Thursday April 25, Fribourg - Salvan/Les Marécottes. 171km

Stage 3 | Friday April 26, Oron - Oron. 15.5km

Stage 4 | Saturday April 27, Sailion - Leysin. 151.7km

Stage 5 | Sunday April 28, Vernier - Vernier. 150.8km

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling  100 Greatest Cycling Climbs , followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes,  RIDE BRITAIN . Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running  his 100 Climbs brand  and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.

Race report Bart Lemmen, Raúl García Pierna and Nelson Oliveira break away after 10 kilometres of action. The peloton does not agree and keeps chasing until Juri Hollmann, Josef Cerny and Dorian Godon make it six at the front, and dust settles down.

The leaders initially put 4 minutes into the peloton, but the gap narrows to 30 seconds on the first climb of the day. The lead group is halved at the summit, with only the initial attackers remaining – Bart Lemmen, Raúl García Pierna, and Nelson Oliveira.

Oliveira breaks away alone on the descent, but Lemmen, García Pierna, and Godon catch up with him again in the valley. Clémen Berthet adds fresh energy to the front of the race.

Lemmen picks up the pace as the roads steepen once more, with Berthet the sole rider able to match his tempo. The Frenchman heads out alone with 52 kilometres remaining and he tackles the finishing climb 1 minute ahead of the peloton.

Egan Bernal attacks as Berthet is caught halfway up the climb. Carlos Rodriguez jumps across, with Richard Carapaz on his wheel. Leader Juan Ayuso, Aleksandr Vlasov, Florian Lipowitz, and Enric Mas also make the junction.

Lipowitz jumps clear, while Rodriguez and Carapaz follow his move. The Olympic Champion heads out alone in the last 2.2 kilometres. He seems to open up a comfortable lead, but then it’s Lipowitz who returns on the home straight. He sprints full throttle, but it’s too late, and he finishes second.

Rodriguez crosses the line 10 seconds later to take over the leader’s jersey from his compatriot Ayuso, who drops to fifth place overall.

Tour de Romandie live stream 2021: how to watch UCI WorldTour cycling from anywhere

The riders hit the Swiss hills to gear up for the Giro

We're up in the hills and mountains of western Switzerland for the Tour de Romandie, two years after Primož Roglič rode to victory in the last edition of the race. As the final stage race of the UCI World Tour before the Giro d'Italia in May, it's the perfect opportunity for the riders to tune up and measure themselves against their rivals. So join us for a spin as we explain how to get a 2021 Tour de Romandie live stream and watch UCI WorldTour cycling online wherever you are in the world.

Dates: Tuesday, April 27 to Sunday, May 2 (stage times below)

Live stream: Eurosport Player (UK) | GCN+ (US, Canada, Australia)

FREE live streams: L'Equipe TV (FREE in France) | Sporza (FREE in Belgium)

Watch anywhere: try No. 1 overall VPN 100% risk-free

Last year's Tour de Romandie was one of the many races that fell victim to the pandemic, which means 2019 winner Roglič is still the reigning champion. The Slovenian also won the 2018 edition, but he won't be in Romandie to defend his crown.

Instead, the big names on the start list include Steven Kruijwsijk (Team Jumbo-Visma), Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe), and Miguel Ángel López (Movistar).

The opening and closing stages are both individual time trials, with the first measuring little over 4km, which can only mean one thing - a gruelling 8% climb to finish.

Stages 2 (2,262-metre elevation gain), 4 (4,157-metre elevation gain) and 5 (an individual time trial featuring several steep legs and an uphill finish), meanwhile, look especially cruel. Read on for everything you need to know to watch a 2021 Tour de Romandie live stream from anywhere in the world today.

Zum zweiten Mal beginnt die Landesrundfahrt im Ausland. Nach dem Auftakt im Jahr 2001 im badischen Städtchen Rust fällt der Startschuss in Vaduz – und wie fast immer in diesem Jahrtausend mit einem Einzelzeitfahren.

Nach dem Aufgalopp im Fürstentum Liechtenstein folgen mit den Etappenankünften in Regensdorf und Rüschlikon zwei Chancen für die Sprinter oder Classique-Jäger, bevor am vierten Tag auf dem Gotthardpass die erste von vier aufeinanderfolgenden Bergankünften ansteht. Das abschliessende Bergzeitfahren über 15,7 Kilometer von Aigle nach Villars-sur-Ollon wird letzte Klarheit im Kampf um den Gesamtsieg liefern.

Eine Angelegenheit für die Kletterer

Als Gesamtsieger kommen angesichts des bergigen Parcours selbstredend starke Kletterer in Frage. Knapp 19'000 Höhenmeter gilt es auf den 950 Kilometern zu bewältigen. Anwärter auf die Nachfolge von Vorjahressieger Mathias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) sind der dänische Meister selber, der Kolumbianer Egan Bernal (Ineos-Grenadiers), 2019 Gewinner der Tour de Suisse und anschliessend auch der Tour de France, der Portugiese João Almeida (UAE Emirates) oder die Spanier Pello Bilbao (Bahrain-Victorious) und Enric Mas (Movistar).

Sie alle wollen sich für die Tour de France in Form bringen. Das gilt auch für Richard Carapaz und Tom Pidcock, den Strassen- respektive Mountainbike-Olympiasieger von Tokio.

Die Hoffnungen der Organisatoren, von den ganz grossen Rundfahrten-Spezialisten könnte einer den Weg in die Schweiz finden, erfüllten sich nicht. Während Jonas Vingegaard nach einer längeren Verletzungspause und Tadej Pogacar nach seinem Giro-Sieg weitere Trainingstage in der Höhe bevorzugen, entschieden sich Remco Evenepoel und Primoz Roglic für die Teilnahme an der am Sonntag zu Ende gehenden Dauphiné-Rundfahrt.

Ein Schweizer in Gelb?

Mit voraussichtlich 24 Fahrern stellt die Schweiz die grösste Fraktion. Die Aussichten sind allerdings nicht allzu rosig, dass einer von ihnen im Gesamtklassement ganz vorne mitmischen kann. Die Voraussetzung, an einzelnen Tagen zu glänzen, bringen hingegen gleich mehrere Fahrer mit. So wird Marc Hirschi oder Mauro Schmid zu Beginn der Rundfahrt, wenn es noch nicht so bergig ist, durchaus ein Etappensieg zugetraut.

Mit Stefan Küng oder Stefan Bissegger könnte sogar einer der einheimischen Garde das erste Leadertrikot erobern. Die beiden Thurgauer zählen im Auftaktzeitfahren über knapp fünf Kilometer zum engsten Kreis der Favoriten. Für Küng wäre es nach 2021 in Frauenfeld und im letzten Jahr in Einsiedeln das dritte Mal, dass er sich mit einem Sieg im Zeitfahren in Gelb einkleiden lassen könnte. Im Fürstentum Liechtenstein, wo seine Wurzeln mütterlicherseits hinführen, darf er ausserdem auf speziellen Support hoffen.

Fussball-EM und meterhohe Schneewände

Ein Schweizer Auftaktsieg wäre für die Tour de Suisse ein Segen, wenn es darum geht, das Zuschauerinteresse zu steigern und die TV-Einschaltquoten zu befeuern- zumal mit der am kommenden Freitag beginnenden Fussball-EM in Deutschland eine starke Konkurrenz-Veranstaltung den Markt streitig macht.

Weitere Herausforderungen erwarten die Organisatoren in der Höhe, wo sich der Schnee teils noch immer meterweise türmt. Eine Streckenänderung haben sie bereits vornehmen müssen. Die Königsetappe, die am Freitag in Locarno beginnt und in Blatten-Belalp im Wallis endet, führt nicht über den Nufenenpass. Der viele Schnee verunmöglicht die Überquerung des Passes, der mit 2421 Metern über Meer das Dach der Tour gewesen wäre.

Die Verantwortlichen prüfen zwei Alternativen. Die eine Variante sieht wie geplant den Start in Locarno vor und führt via Gotthard- und Furkapass ins Wallis, bei der zweiten erfolgt der Start zu einer verkürzten Etappe in Ulrichen im Obergoms.

Vorsicht bei der Routenwahl

Unter spezieller Beobachtung steht die Tour de Suisse in diesem Jahr betreffend Sicherheit. Nach dem tödlichen Sturz von Gino Mäder in der Abfahrt vom Albulapass liessen die Organisatoren bei der Routenwahl Vorsicht walten. «Es wäre das falsche Signal gewesen, nach den Ereignissen des letzten Jahres das Ziel nach einer Abfahrt zu fixieren», sagt Olivier Senn, der Direktor der Tour de Suisse. Das erklärt auch die vergleichsweise hohe Anzahl an Bergankünften.

Um die Sicherheit der Fahrer weiter zu erhöhen, wurde die Signalisation von heiklen Stellen verbessert. Ausserdem steht ein dritter Rennarzt im Einsatz. (sda)

EK atletiek live op Sporza: Thiam op zoek naar olympisch ticket en medaillekansen voor Belgen

Straks begint in Rome het Europees kampioenschap atletiek. 50 dagen voor de start van de Olympische Spelen in Parijs is het voor sommige atleten één van de laatste kansen om zich te plaatsen voor de vierjaarlijkse hoogmis van de sport. Op sporza hoeft u niets van dit lekkers te missen.

Erop of eronder voor Nafi Thiam

Ook al is ze uittredend olympisch kampioene, toch moet Nafi Thiam zich nog altijd plaatsen voor Parijs. Dat zijn nu eenmaal de regels. 

Als alles goed gaat, mag dit voor de meervoudig Europees en wereldkampioene geen enkel probleem zijn. De olympische limiet van 6.480 punten ligt ruim binnen haar mogelijkheden, zelfs al is ze niet 100%.

Maar toch wordt het tricky. Het is voor Thiam haar eerste zevenkamp sinds 2022 toen ze het EK en WK won. Rome is zo goed zeker als haar laatste kans, want de olympische  kwalificatieperiode loopt af op 30 juni.

Als de blessuregevoelige Thiam zich zou blesseren dan zou de droom op een derde opeenvolgende olympische titel,  een unicum, vervlogen zijn.

Oh ja, Thiam kan ook nog voor de derde keer in haar carrière Europees kampioene worden. Hiervoor krijgt ze concurrentie van Noor Vidts en haar grote rivale Katarina Johnson-Thompson, de wereldkampioene 5-kamp indoor.

Kansen op Belgisch eremetaal

Een van de andere Belgen om naar uit te kijken is Alexander Doom op de 400 meter. Voor de 27-jarige West-Vlaming is 2024, tot nog toe, het jaar van de grote doorbraak.

Sinds Doom in maart van dit jaar wereldkampioen indoor werd en zich met de Tornados plaatste voor Parijs 2024, ging z'n niveau alleen maar de hoogte in.

Vorige maand kwam hij op de meeting van Ostrava met 44"44 tot op één honderdste van een seconde van het Belgisch record van Jonathan Borlée. Als hij deze tijd nog kan verbeteren in de finale van het EK, dan zit goud er in.

Ook met de Tornados, de wereldkampioenen indoor op de 4x400 meter estafette,  zijn er medaillekansen voor Doom. In deze discipline wordt er ook wel wat verwacht van de Belgian Cheetahs en de mixed relay.

Tot slot mogen ook hordenloper Michael Obasuyi en afstandsloper Isaac Kimeli met  ambitie starten in Rome. 

Obasuyi verbeterde twee weken geleden het 26 jaar oude Belgisch record van Jonathan N'Senga op de 110 meter horden en die 13"20 is op dit ogenblik nog altijd de snelste Europese tijd van het jaar.

Isaac Kimeli, tot slot, heeft al bewezen dat hij op Europees niveau kan wedijveren met de besten op de 5 en 10 kilometer. In Rome kiest de 30-jarige Belg voor de 10.000 meter. Het enige wat nog ontbreekt op zijn Europese palmares is een medaille outdoor.

Grote namen tekenen present in Rome

Hoewel internationale wereldsterren in een olympisch jaar vaak hun neus ophalen voor Europese kampioenschappen, valt dat in Rome dit jaar best wel mee.

Dé posterboy voor deze kampioenschappen is ongetwijfeld 100m-loper Marcell Jacobs. De Italiaanse olympische en Europese kampioen is nog op zoek naar z'n beste vorm, maar speelt wel een thuismatch.

In het polsstokspringen wil Mondo Duplantis zijn vorm nog eens testen op 50 dagen voor Parijs. En als de Zweed "testen" zegt, dan kan je ervan op aan dat een wereldrecord nooit veraf is.

Ook het Nederlandse loopwonder Femke Bol zal zo goed als zeker de Europese titel op de 400 meter horden binnenhalen, net als haar evenknie bij de mannen, Karsten Warholm.

In het discuswerpen tot slot is het uitkijken naar kersvers wereldrecordhouder (74,35m) Mykolas Alekna.

2024 RBC Canadian Open TV schedule, live stream, where to watch, tee times, channel, radio, golf coverage

The canadian open takes center stage this week hoping to follow the fireworks of last year's tournament.

The 2024 RBC Canadian Open looks a little different this year as the tournament returns to Hamilton Golf & Country Club for the first time since 2019 and seventh time in event history. Five years ago, it was Rory McIlroy who blitzed the field by seven for the first of his two Canadian Open titles, but last year, it was Nick Taylor who became a local hero.

Beating Tommy Fleetwood with a 72-foot eagle putt on the third playoff hole, Taylor became the first Canadian in 69 years to claim his home country's open. Taylor immediately vaulted himself into legend status with the win and ensuing celebration -- so much so that his silhouette is now part of the tournament logo.

Canadians will hope to break another drought this week as countrymen have not won the Canadian Open in back-to-back years since 1913-14. The field is littered with those representing the maple leaf Mackenzie Hughes appearing to be the most likely to off the feat. He will have to chase down 54-hole leader Robert MacIntyre with Fleetwood among a chasing pack.

The final round of the RBC Canadian Open takes place Sunday at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.

Robert MacIntyre leads the field by four strokes after a red-hot stretch coming down the back nine separated him from a crowded pack. MacIntyre played his final five holes 5-under par, including an eagle at the par-5 17th, to head into Sunday 14-under for the week in search of his first PGA TOUR win.

The chasing pack consists of Ben Griffin, Ryan Fox and Canadian Mackenzie Hughes all at 10-under par. Big names like Tommy Fleetwood, Sam Burns and Joel Dahmen sit at 9-under, with Rory McIlroy and Tom Kim just in striking distance at 7-under.

As it happened: Mass crash involving Evenepoel sees Dauphiné stage 5 neutralised with no winner

2024 tour de suisse – analysing the contenders.

Skjelmose defends his title against rivals including Bernal, Martinez, Carapaz and more in Switzerland

The Critérium du Dauphiné may have attracted some of the big names this year, like Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) but that doesn't mean the Tour de Suisse is foregoing its role as an important hit out before the Tour de France .

For some, those final preparations before attention turns to the Grand Tour are the all-important factor but for others who aren't lining up in Florence – or are doing it in support of another – getting the best result they can over the eight days in Switzerland is the key aim. 

Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) took an emotional overall victory last year, with the racing coming second to the human tragedy given Gino Mäder crashed on stage 5 and died.

Skjelmose again lines up to try and defend his title at the race – which begins with a 4.8km time trial in Vaduz on Sunday, June 9 and covers 950km with almost 19,000 metres in altitude gain. There, however, are plenty of rivals, including two more former winners.

Here at Cyclingnews , we've run a rule over the preliminary start list – so lineup changes are still a possibility – to pick out some of the riders who could be fighting for the top spots as the race unfolds.

Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek)

Returning as defending champion after winning an emotional 2023 edition of the Tour de Suisse, the Danish rider won't be using the race as a tune-up for the Tour de France, with the eight-stage tour instead marking his return to racing as he builds toward the Olympic Games and the  Vuelta a España .

The 23-year-old hasn't pinned on a number since Liège-Bastogne-Liège but his results in the early part of the season deliver promise that Skjelmose could deliver a solid result at the race he won last year. However, there will be some serious headwinds to overcome, given the rivals he'll be lining up against.

Still, with a third at Itzulia Basque Country in April, where he was leading the race into the final stage, Skjelmose again confirmed his promise and made clear that last year's Tour de Suisse win was a sign of things to come. The Lidl-Trek rider also came fourth at Paris-Nice, winning a stage along the way. 

João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates)

It will be the first Tour de Suisse for João Almeida before he also heads toward a Tour de France debut. The 25-year-old will, of course, be riding in support of Tadej Pogačar in the Grand Tour, so Switzerland offers the rider a chance to carve out his own results.

Almeida was regularly among the best in the longer stage races last year, stepping up onto the overall podium at Tirreno-Adriatico, Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de Pologne.

This year is yet to deliver the same results, with Almeida in a support role at both his stage races so far this year. At the Volta a Catalunya he came ninth while Pogačar claimed victory, while he took 11th at Paris-Nice as Brandon McNulty stepped onto the podium for the team.

The Tour de Suisse, however, could offer a chance for Almeida, though given Finn Fisher-Black and the rising start of Isaac Del Toro are also in the team he definitely isn't the only option for a strong overall result.

Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost)

Richard Carapaz hasn't lined up at the Tour de Suisse since he won it in 2021, but he'll be using it as preparation for the Tour de France and hoping it delivers the same result, with the title in Switzerland then followed by a spot on the overall podium in Paris.

There's no chance of a complete repeat, though, as the Olympic Games road race winner in Tokyo has missed selection for the team this time around.

That may add even more fire for the upcoming battles, with the Ecuadorian road champion's strong season start at the National Championships and Tour Colombia, where he came second overall, not then initially carrying through to Europe. There was a pickup at the Tour de Romandie, where Carapaz finished seventh overall and also picked up a stage victory. It's perhaps the sign of a building momentum which could make him a real threat in Switzerland.

Enric Mas (Movistar)

For Enric Mas, the Tour de Suisse is a lead-in race for a GC charge at the Tour de France, where his best overall result so far was fifth overall in 2020. Mas hasn't raced Suisse since 2019, when he came ninth following on from a fourth in 2018, having used the Critérium du Dauphiné as his lead-in to the French Grand Tour during the intervening years. 

The change this year, after a couple of Tour de France appearances that haven't run to plan, could provide the Spanish rider to work his way up the results table, both at the event and from his GC run so far this year. 

Mas has raced just three events this year, honing in on Tirreno-Adriatico where he came 12th overall, before a fifth at Volta Ciclista a Catalunya and sixth at the Tour de Romandie. The 29-year-old is the picture of consistency, with seven top-six finishes among the nine Grand Tours he has finished, so it's a good bet that we will also see him near the top of the results table at the Tour de Suisse, too.

Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) 

The Ineos Grenadiers rider has won the Tour de Suisse before, back in 2019 when he then went on to win the Tour de France. Much has changed through the intervening seasons but there have been promising signs in the early months of 2024 that the Colombian is on an upward trajectory.

Last year, his first full season since his horrible training crash at the start of 2022, he was on the build and managed to secure a couple of top 10s overall. This year the podium places are beginning to come through, with third overall at both O Gran Camiño and Volta a Catalunya. Perhaps the Tour de Suisse is a chance for another.

Tom Pidcock will also present another card for the team to play, with the Amstel Gold Race winner lining up in Vaduz to take on the Swiss race from June 9-16 before staying on in the nation for the UCI MTB World Cup round in Crans Montana on June 23 and then heading to off to start the Tour de France in Florence on June 29.

Lenny Martinez (Groupama-FDJ)

Groupama-FDJ have been given plenty of reason to celebrate their developing talent so far this season, with 21-year-old Laurence Pithie opening their win tally for the year at the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and Lenny Martinez being the team's most prolific contributor, having already collected five wins this season.

The 20-year-old may be showing the signs of potential that mark him one of the most prized creatures in cycling – a home nation contender for a top overall result at the Tour de France. However, that is a thought best saved for the years ahead. 

For Martinez, the Tour de Suisse this year is one of the building blocks toward a return appearance at the Vuelta a España, and while he may not be a top favourite for the eight-stage race his shows of increasing strength also make him a rider that is hard to ignore.

The rider, who was born in Cannes, started the season with a win at Classic Var and then a second overall at O Gran Camiño, there were then four more one-day race victories along the way and top 10 results at both Volta a Catalunya and Tour de Romandie.

Cian Uijtdebroeks (Visma-Lease a Bike)

The Giro d'Italia had been a main focus of the season for Cian Uijtdebroeks but while he ended the 10th stage in a strong fifth overall, he didn't start stage 11 as the 21-year-old was unwell with a fever. Walking away when the goal of a top-10 finish overall looked within reach was a tough outcome for the rider at their first Italian Grand Tour but the Tour de Suisse could provide some consolation.

Uijtdebroeks, then racing with Bora-Hansgrohe, came seventh at the race last year and has rarely fallen out of the top 10 in any stage race he has completed since the start of last season.

This season, his results include fifth at O Gran Camiño and seventh at Tirreno-Adriatico. It seems just a matter of time until Uijtdebroeks hits his first overall podium at a WorldTour race, and the Tour de Suisse presents an opportunity to take another step in that direction.
