2023 Tour de Romandie Prologue Live Coverage
Welcome to our live coverage of Prologue of the 2023 Tour de Romandie! Our live time-trial times and commentary are below, followed by a preview of the technical aspects of the route.
Course Preview
The Tour de Romandie opens with a 6.8 kilometres prologue in Port-Valais. The course is as flat as a curling rink.
A prologue on the first day of the Tour de Romandie is one of the certainties in life. Ethan Hayter won last year and succeeded Rohan Dennis (2021), Jan Tratnik (2019), Michael Matthews (2018), Fabio Felline (2017), Ion Izagirre (2016), Michal Kwiatkowski (2014), Chris Froome (2013), Geraint Thomas (2012), and Jonathan Castroviejo (2011).
This year’s route is as flat as can be. As the distance does not exceed 8 kilometres, the definition ‘prologue’ is in order.
Port-Valais is situated on the southeast side of Lake Geneva, 5 kilometres from the Swiss-French border.
The first rider (Jonathan Bögli) starts at 14:50 and the last one (Cian Uijtdebroeks) is expected to finish around 17:30 – both are local times (CEST).
