Where the stage is decided
What to follow
- Eastern Swiss Alpine foothills: Graubünden + Sankt Gallen rolling terrain.
- Bad Ragaz: spa town origin point, hosting cycling for the first time in recent TdS memory.
- Bridge stage: between the Italian-feeling opening days and the GC-decisive Swiss week.
When to tune in
Watch the closing Cat-2 climb — selective enough to drop pure sprinters but not GC-decisive.
