Course Preview
The Tour de Suisse serves a circuit race around Langnau on the second day of action. The hilly route of 159.6 kilometres takes in an altitude gain of 2,532 metres.
The 2nd stage includes three identical rounds of 53.2 kilometres. The Schallenberg is crested 21.1 kilometres into each lap and straight after the descent it goes back up again on the Chuderhüsi Pass, which is crested at kilometre 33.4. The route drops down to Langnau for a passage on the line after 53.2 kilometres.

Last year’s 2nd stage was a criterium race with a similar profile. At the end of the day, Peter Sagan outsprinted Fernando Gaviria and Nathan Haas on the line in Frauenfeld. It was his sixteenth stage win on the Tour de Suisse, which is a record.
