May 2 update: The final and queen stage should be interesting with only seven seconds separating the top four riders on GC. There are two cat 1 climbs early in the stage and another near the end before the descent and 7 km flat finish into Sion where the start also takes place. All three climbs top out at around 1400m. The stage is only 122 km long and will finish earlier than previous days. See the race summary table (r) for links to the stage profile, detailed start, finish and stage maps, including the last three km, and timetable. — SteveValverde, a un segundo del liderato en Romandía: ´Mañana seguro que habrá movida´ — biciciclismoStage 4 results: Simon Spilak of Lampre attacks the break with 10 km to go and solos home in the rain

After a neutralized start in Vevey, the real Stage 4 race starts in front of the famous Château de Chillon, Switzerland's most visited historic monument located on Lac Léman (aka Lake Geneva) photo: steephill.tv |
May 1 update: Stage 4 starts out flat as it rounds the east end of Lac Léman (aka Lake Geneva), past the UCI Headquarters in Aigle and south to the turnaround point in Martigny along valley roads next to the main highway. From Martigny, the stage retraces part of the flat route back to St. Maurice where the climbing starts to the west. The riders will climb over 900m up the east side of Pas de Morgins (profile) for the first pass through the Châtel, France, the finishing town. The stage continues west through the French range on the south side of Lac Léman before returning to Châtel 70 km later for the hill climb and short descent to the finish (profile). It could be a cold, wet day in the saddle. — Steve
By the way: The big banner photo at the very top of this page was taken in the mountains just east of today's stage near Château d'Oex. After a day of driving back in 2008, we found a campsite at the end of the day and lucked out on this short but picturesque loop (map)... a belated ride report coming very shortly.

April 26 update: Usually the prologue takes place in Geneva or Lausanne, but not this year. Instead we're in the north of the old Romandie region for a short, flat loop in Porrentruy. Last year's prologue winner, Frantisek Rabon (left), is back. He most recently had a convincing ITT win last month at Vuelta a Murcia. — Steve ITT Start Order and Times

March 15 update: So far only the route map and a brief press release have been released. Since this race is one of the 16 ProTour events expect all the ProTour teams to partake.
As usual, the race starts with a prologue, but this year it will start in Porrentruy on April 27th. Usually, Geneva or Lausanne hosts the start. There is also an individual time-trial on Stage 4 around Moudon of an undetermined length. The race will enter France twice, one during the prologue and then again with the mountaintop finish on Stage 5 at Châtel (near Morzine). The following day is the final and Queen Stage on May 3rd with a "very hilly" route around Sion.
More to come... — Steve
