It is an in-form Sébastien Reichenbach who will line up for the 2024 Tour de Romandie on Tuesday. The Martignerain of the Tudor team will, however, have the mission of being the “lieutenant” of his leader Yannis Voisard.
The Tour de Romandie starts this Tuesday. The runners will soon be entitled to a two-kilometer prologue through Payerne. Fifteen Swiss runners will be present this year, including Sébastien Reichenbach, who will compete in his ninth French-speaking loop.
The Martignerain of the Swiss team Tudor made a good start to the season, with a sixth place overall in the Tour of Antalya, and an 18e on that of Abruzzo. However, his role will be to accompany his leader Yannis Voisard on the roads of the region.
At home Thursday
“ It’s true that it will be difficult to concentrate on the personal level. There will already be two stages for our sprinter Alberto Dainese, and two mountain stages for Yannis… My motivation will be to support him as long as possible “, he explains. The former Swiss champion will still have the advantage of playing on tracks that he knows like the back of his hand. Particularly on Thursday’s stage.
This will connect Friborg to Salvan-Les Marécottes. Bas-Valaisan will thus race almost at home. “ It will be a real hill climb, with a final steep climb. Knowing where I put the wheels can really benefit me. »
