2019 Tour de Suisse Stage 1 Live Coverage
Welcome to our live coverage of Stage 1 of the 2019 Tour de Suisse! Our live time-trial times and commentary are below, followed by a preview of the technical aspects of the route.
Course Preview
The 1st stage of the Tour de Suisse is a flat individual time trial of 9.5 kilometres. It is an out-and-back race in the Emme valley with Langnau as its start and finish hub.
The Tour de Suisse kicks into gear on an extremely fast course. It is flat and features only three corners. The route follows the river Emme until Lauperswil to head back on the same road.
Last year’s Tour de Suisse commenced with a team time trial of 18.3 kilometres. BMC bested Team Sunweb and hometown rider Stefan Küng took the first yellow jersey. Surely, the Swiss won’t mind if a similar scenario unfolds with their national champion powering to victory.
