Tour of Romandie 2026 stage 1 preview

The Tour de Romandie 2026 opens with a 3.2-kilometre prologue time trial around the streets of Villars-sur-Glâne on April 27, 2026. Tadej Pogačar is identified as the top favourite for the overall race, though the prologue format represents an unfamiliar test for the Slovenian rider. The race serves as a key build-up event for the Giro d'Italia, with the spring classics season having concluded at Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
