Although the route features a number of tight turns, the ITT predominantly takes place on straight roads to the east of Oron. So, all in all, the course should favour pure ITT specialists.
Three years ago the Tour de Romandie started in Oron-la-Ville with a prologue. The now retired Rohan Dennis took the spoils ahead of Geraint Thomas and Richie Porte. That route included a punchy climb to the line, which is not the case this time. En route you’ll find a 1.8 kilometre climb at 6.5% and a number of false flat sections, but that’s it in terms of climbing.
The intermediate time check appears after 7.9 kilometres.
