The 2023 Tour de Suisse kicks off with a flat 12.6km time trial on the shores of the Sihlsee lake, starting and finishing in Einsiedeln. There are a few technical turns and a final rise to the line, but it’s definitely a route that favours the powerful TT specialists.

    1. I really hate this guys over-pronunciation of foreign rider names… Half the time he butchers them trying too hard. Just get one of the team to tell him to tone it down.

    2. Roglic vs Evenepoel at the Giro and Vuelta. Pog and Vingo battle at the Tour. Is this the scenario every year? It would be nice to get all four in the same event.

    3. 17.9 km (7.9 mile) TT? This is just a sprint race that can be done on a regular road bike. Designed to negate true Time Trial racers who are good at this.

    4. fun fact. Evenepoel wasn't forced to leave the Giro and had no obligation to leave it, as both WHO and Italian health authority formally declared the pandemic over about a week before the Giro started.
      And, if he really wanted to stay and compete for GC, he could have taken one of those pricey anticovid antibody cocktails that get you back on track, and non infectious, in 24h. To be ready to start just after the resting day. And indeed, as covid was circulating in the peloton before the Giro started, teams could/should have be giving to riders a vax boost shot for peace of mind.

    5. Oh my!
      I've never seen the Tour De Suisse before. EVER. SBS here in Australia does not cover the event.
      How I would LOVE to go to Switzerland one day… 😍
