Stefan Küng will be a home favourite on stage 1 of the Tour de Suisse

The Tour de Suisse gets underway on Sunday with a 4.8km time trial on stage 1 acting as something of a prologue to the eight-day stage race which is a key Tour de France warm-up event.

Coming in at under 5km and with a very flat parcours in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, the stage 1 TT will be one for the powerful riders, with times expected to be only a few minutes, and only very small gaps likely to open up on GC. The stage will decide the first yellow jersey for the race leader, but won’t be a key day in the overall.

The profile of the stage 1 ITT at the Tour de Suisse

Among the favourites for the stage will be two Swiss powerhouses hoping to do well at their home race: Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) and Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-EasyPost). Among the GC riders, the likes of Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) and Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) will be trying to limit their losses and make any gains on their rival.
