Medtem ko se v Franciji končuje Kriterij Dauphine, se v Švici začenja osemdnevno dirkanje po državi. Švicarska preizkušnja predstavlja eno zadnjih generalk pred Dirko po Franciji, tudi letos pa se tradicionalno začenja s kronometrom.
Organizatorji so se odločili, da uvodni kronometer označijo kot prvo etapo, čeprav bi se lahko odločili tudi za prolog. Le 4,77 kilometra dolga trasa namreč ustreza pogojem prologa.
Trasa bo povsem ravna, skupno prinaša le 14 višinskih metrov, ki na razplet ne bodo vplivali. Tokrat gre le za surovo moč, katere običajno največ premorejo specialisti za vožnjo na čas.
Uvodni dan tako prinaša precej enostavno preizkušnjo, ki ponuja prvo izmed dveh priložnosti za kronometriste. Na dirki sicer ni veliko specialistov za to discipline, a oba najboljša Švicarja sta jasno tukaj.
Stefan Küng velja za prvega favorita, največji tekmec pa bo rojak Stefan Bissegger. Zmaga enega ali drugega na domači dirki bi bila jasno lep dosežek, čeprav ta ne bi bila dosežena na domačih tleh, saj se bo kronometer odvil na ulicah Lihtenštajna.
Slovenci svojega predstavnika na dirki nimamo, bo pa vseeno zanimivo spremljati dogajanje. V boj se namreč podaja tudi nekaj imen, ki jih že kmalu pričakujemo na Dirki po Franciji, kjer se bodo borili tudi s Tadejem Pogačarjem in Primožem Rogličem. Dobro bo torej vedeti, v kakšni formi so.
