An international sports competition accessible for free, it does not miss. Even if the weather forecasts are uncertain. Even if it causes traffic disturbances.
Sunday in Geneva, the first runner of the Tour de Romandie will start at 1 p.m. rue Saint-Léger for the time trial which will close the competition. The last one will leave from rue Saint-Léger at 4 p.m. on A 17 km route.
Before choosing your place, it is useless to know that cyclists set off every minute according to the reverse order of the classification. In short, to see the Cadors – the double Belgian Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel for example – the tranche between 15 and 16 hours will be privileged.

The paving stones of the old town
It is the major attraction of this Tour de Romandie. A passage in old town on the playground (wet?) Of the climbing race. We would have liked to see the convicts attack the raid of the treble ramp in the direction of the climb, but it is in descent that they will borrow it from the start of their thoughts. Just before, the passage at full speed in Bourg-de-Four, then on the cobblestones on rue de l’Hotel-de-Ville will also offer a nice glance.
-After the Bourg-de-Four, the rue de l’Hotel-de-Ville will see the racing cars pass.

Double blow on the Mont-Blanc bridge
Those who like to see with the shovel will be posted on the Mont-Blanc bridge. Simply because the route provides for a passage in both directions (with a 180 degree turn on the right bank side). That said, the Quai Gustave-Ador offers the same two-way show with, there too, the jet of water in the background.
The runners will borrow the Mont-Blanc bridge in both directions. A 180 degree turn is on the right bank.

The chapite s’anime
After the first kilometers marked by the nervousness of repeated turns, the runners must reach Colagny and its heights. There, we no longer present the decor that the heading offers. Especially since the top of the hill will be animated. On the esplanade located at 6, chemin des Rayes, The Geneva Association in saddle takes care of putting the mood from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a bicycle festival (catering, music, repair workshops, agility route) before the runners took over the city center.
A village of the Tour in a new place
At the end of a course swallowed at a speed close to 50 km/h, the effort ends at rue de Candolle. A stone’s throw away, the podium will be installed in the new square. The awards ceremony will be held there around 4:20 p.m. in the adjacent streets, where the teams of the teams are parked, the collectors of gourdes sometimes find their happiness.
