It’s going to have to be a good day. If the climbs are mostly short, Tuesday, June 14, on the third stage of the Tour de Suisse, they are nonetheless formidable by their number. With four climbs listed over the 176.9 km race, including the Côte au Bouvier (5.4 km at 8.6%) in the first category and located in the middle of the stage, the rider who wants to win at Grenchen, north of the capital, Bern, should have good climbing skills.
In the group of favourites, the day should, like Monday, prove to be rather calm. On the other hand, punchers and sprinters like Alberto Bettiol (EF Education-EasyPost), second Monday, or Michael Matthews (BikeExchange-Jayco) and Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates), should have desires for success in seen from the profile of the day. Stephen Williams (Bahrain-Victorious), wearing the yellow jersey for a handful of seconds, will have to be wary of possible attacks in the final. Follow the third step.
