Tour de Suisse: Tom Dumoulin returns with ambition

On 23 January, Tom Dumoulin (Jumbo-Visma) surprised his fans and the world of cycling when he announced that he would sit back and take some time for himself before considering a return to competition. Four months later, the Dutch star lines up for the 84th edition of the Tour de Suisse (6-13 June). How will the 2017 Giro d'Italia winner fare on his come-back to competitive racing and a summer filled with major goals?

Tom Dumoulin has rediscovered his ambition and his mental freshness. At the end of the winter, he appeared worn out by all the efforts dedicated to his career as a top pro cyclist. But putting away his bike for a few weeks to simply enjoy his life worked wonders for the Dutchman. We saw him again on the roads of the Amstel Gold Race, in April, but as a spectator, and there was a sense of a budding will to be a rider again... he just needed to define his new ambitions to formalise his return. It will be the Tokyo Olympic Games, five years after he took the silver medal in the individual time trial in Rio.

The Tour de Suisse thus seems to be the perfect event for his return. In addition to its mountainous challenges, the ninth stage race of the 2021 UCI WorldTour calendar features two time trials. The first one is 10.9km long through the streets of Frauenfeld. The second, on the penultimate stage, is particularly demanding with 600m of elevation over 23.3km between Disentis-Sedrun and Andermatt.

Dumoulin's performance in Switzerland will be closely monitored. It should give a real indication of his current level and his ability to bounce back to glory this summer. In the absence of Primož Roglič, preparing for the Tour de France on his own, and Steven Kruijswijk, currently riding the Critérium du Dauphiné, Dumoulin should enjoy freedom in the ranks of Jumbo-Visma.

With Chris Harper (4th in the UAE Tour) and his compatriots Sam Oomen and Antwan Tolhoek, the Dutch team provides him with a strong supporting cast. We will soon see if he is ready to ride as a General Classification (GC) leader, more than seven months after abandoning the 2020 Vuelta a España (DNS in stage 8) or if he'll adjust his tactics to hunt for stage wins, which may be his main ambition in Switzerland.

Dumoulin will notably have to deal with the two leaders of Ineos Grenadiers for this Tour de Suisse. Richard Carapaz and Adam Yates come as hot favourites, in line with the impressive results their has team claimed in stage races this season. After occupying all  three spots on the podium of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya (victory for Adam Yates ahead of Richie Porte and Geraint Thomas), the British squad won the Tour de Romandie (Thomas), then the Giro d’Italia, thanks to Egan Bernal.

The likes of Jakob Fuglsang (Astana-Premier Tech) and UCI World Champion Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck - Quick-Step) are also strong contenders for the overall standings. In the two time trials, Dumoulin will face a number of specialists, including two Swiss experts: European Champion in the time trial Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) and his compatriot Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-Nippo). Many eyes will also turn to the Frenchman Benjamin Thomas (Groupama-FDJ) and the Dane Søren Kragh Andersen (Team DSM).

Dumoulin may not have a record to match Rui Costa (UAE Team Emirates) at the Tour de Suisse – three times a winner and back this year for a ninth time – but he has already shone in the race. In three participations, the Dutchman has climbed once onto the overall podium, finishing 3rd in 2015, a year after claiming 5th place. He has also taken two stage wins.

Dumoulin will enjoy these eight days of hard racing to build condition for his summer goals, which are unlikely to include the Tour de France; Jumbo-Visma have announced that Jonas Vingegaard would replace him in support of Primož Roglič as they chase the yellow jersey. This Tour de Suisse is an opportunity to show his strength as a member of the Dutch national selection for the Olympic Games, both for the time trial and the road race. He needs to show he can be a leader in a team that also boasts Bauke Mollema and Wilco Kelderman.

Tom Dumoulin should face these riders in the Dutch National Championships, where he'll chase a fourth title in the time trial (after success in 2014-15 and 2017). He will also line up in the road race, whose last winner, Mathieu Van der Poel, is also returning to road racing in the Tour de Suisse ahead of the Tour de France and the mountain bike events in Tokyo.

All UCI WorldTeams and the National Team at the Tour de Suisse

A total of 23 teams will line up at the start of the men’s Tour de Suisse in Vaduz on 9th June 2024. After one year’s absence, the Swiss Cycling National Team will be back along with the 18 UCI WorldTeams plus four additional teams from the UCI ProTeam ranks.

All WorldTeams at the Start

For many decades the Tour de Suisse has been a fixture of the cycling calendar as vital preparation for the Tour de France. “This spot in the calendar makes us very attractive for the big teams and riders,” says Tour Director Olivier Senn. On June 9th, all 18 UCI WorldTeams will once again line up at the start in Vaduz. The starting field also features four promising UCI ProTeams, two of which have received an invitation as prescribed by the regulations. The other two ProTeams are the Swiss teams Tudor Pro Cycling and Q36.5 Pro Cycling, who each received a wildcard entry. The 23rd team to be selected is the Swiss Cycling National Team.

Swiss UCI ProTeams on the ascent

The Tudor Pro Cycling Team made a name for itself on the world stage last year and recently achieved its first UCI Worldtour victory. As a result of these successes, the Swiss team received an invitation not only for its home race, but also for the Giro d’Italia: “For us as a Swiss team, the Tour de Suisse is extremely significant. We want to present ourselves to the Swiss public in the best possible light and help to re-ignite enthusiasm for cycling in Switzerland,” said team principal Fabian Cancellara.

The second wildcard was awarded to the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team. This second team, featuring the two home grown talents of Fabio Christen and Matteo Badilatti, also enjoyed considerable success last season. This year, Jannik Steimle rode to the top of the podium at the GP Denain in France a few days ago and secured the first win of the season for the Swiss-licensed team.

The National Team returns to the peloton

Swiss Cycling will be at the start with a young and motivated squad: “The participation of the national team in the Tour de Suisse gives the second guard of our up-and-coming athletes the rare opportunity to test themselves against the world’s best and gain attention for themselves. In recent years, many athletes have been able to use the home race at WorldTour level as a springboard into professional cycling,” says Swiss Cycling’s Head of Sports, Patrick Müller, regarding the upcoming participation in the Tour de Suisse.

“It is an absolute highlight for the fans along the route to see the Swiss Cross in the peloton. We can certainly look forward to witnessing a motivated and competitive National Team,” says ex-professional Mathias Frank, responsible for team selection at the Tour de Suisse.

Information will be provided on the women’s race once all teams are confirmed.

Tour de Suisse - an intense eight-day Pro WorldTour and cycling fest

The exciting Tour de Suisse, part of the UCI World Tour held from the 11th to the 20th of June, is an ideal test for the pro riders in the peloton to gauge their fitness before the Tour de France two weeks later. Over eight days, the riders will climb over 18,000m and race more than 1,000km, including two time-trial events in this 86th edition. Switzerland will host this prestigious event for the pro riders, as a challenging bucket list event for recreational cyclists in a unique format, a fun ride for kids, and a full-on cycling festival. Tour de Suisse is typically a tour of classic climbs and testing terrain for the pro riders to tackle over difficult distances, and we will also sample just a taste of a few of the stages virtually on ROUVY.

Important locations in the Tour de Suisse

The route begins in the centre of Switzerland with an individual Time Trial and then heads west to the mediaeval cities of Fribourg, Vaud and Valais. The queen stage, or the most demanding day is on Stage 5, over 211 km, and will include 4,700m of brutal climbing, and also:

• Some of the most spectacular and beautiful parts of the Swiss Alps.
• Featuring notorious and iconic climbs such as the Furka, Oberalp and Albula.
• Requiring good descending skills from the riders.

Iconic climbs for the pros

You can read some interesting facts about the Albula Pass, an engineering marvel, before riding it yourself. The riders receive a double dose of the climb as they must also ride up the other side of the pass the following day in the 215 km Stage 6, the longest stage in the event. The route then goes eastwards for the concluding locations in Switzerland's Thurgau and St. Gallen regions. Test your indoor climbing skills on the Albula against the leaderboard on STRAVA .

The women’s Tour de Suisse makes history in 2023

The exciting women's four-day Tour de Suisse UCI pro-stage race, for the first time in its short history, will be held at the highest level UCI Women's World Tour. It follows after Stage 7 of the men's race and makes its way into the country's eastern region with a start in Weinfelden and a finish in the beautiful village of Ebnat-Kappel. The entire women's route will go through the Cantons of Thurgau and St. Gallen and won't include the Swiss Alps but will feature 5,000 metres of climbing over a challenging 327-kilometre course.

Surviving World War 2 - the show must go on!

For many years the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia held the central stage with their well-known beginnings in 1902 and 1909, respectively. The inaugural edition of the Tour de Suisse, took place in 1933, organised by the Swiss Cyclists and MotorCyclists Federation to celebrate their 50th anniversary and support cyclists' sport and legitimacy on Swiss roads.

Initially, only Swiss pros participated in the 'Little Tour de Suisse' event. Half a million spectators arrived to cheer on the first edition of the 5 stage event, with 64 entrants and 46 finishers crossing the finish line in Zurich. At the time, WW2 participants entered the challenging race motivated by the fact that they could make a small living in tough economic times when they experienced persistent food rationing and shortages of cycling spare parts like bicycle tires. The attitude of the event organisers was that cycling event must go on despite the war.

Legends of the TdS over time

In 1949 the organisers of the tour were thrilled to have the four greats of Fausto Coppi (historical footage), Gino Bartali, Hugo Koblet and Ferdy Kübler included in the start list. Other legends who have won stages in this event were Eddy Merckx in 1974 and Sean Kelly, Lance Armstrong and Jan Ulrich in the 1990s. Later, Fabian Cancellara and Peter Sagan (see video footage) made their mark. Sagan has won 17 stages since 2011, a record but never an overall win. He has also won the points classification every year since 2011, apart from 2016. No Swiss National Team will be in the men's starting field this year.

The winners' jerseys will consist of the winner's yellow jersey, the King and Queen of the Mountains winner's jersey in red and the Sprinter's Points jersey in black. The best young professional rider's jersey is white. Leaders in the young rider classification are usually candidates for the yellow jersey in future grand tours.
