For those not at the Critérium du Dauphiné this year, the Tour de Suisse 2025 from June 15-22 also will provide top-level competition. Here’s how to watch.
For those not competing in the Critérium du Dauphiné this year, the upcoming Tour de Suisse 2025 also will provide a welcomed challenge, especially for those who will be spending July at the Tour de France.
The Tour de Suisse again will provide everything the riders need to test their form – distance, altitude, a tough field and a variety of terrain, from a flat start to a climb reaching almost 4,000 meters of altitude.
It will kick off June 15 and run through June 22, which means anyone headed to France still will have two weeks to recover – or train harder!
The first stage of the Tour de Suisse 2025 will get underway at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, with FloBikes coverage for viewers in Canada, the United States and U.S. territories, beginning at 9:10 a.m. EDT.

The Tour de Suisse 2025 will be the 88th edition of the race, which now features eight stages. It will give different types of riders the chance to shine at different times, though it will take a versatile competitor to wear the coveted yellow jersey on the final day.
They’ll see four hilly stages overall (1,2,3,7), two tough mountain stages (4, 5), a flat stage (6) and an individual time trial in Stage 8 to close things out on June 22.
The journey will take them almost 1,300 kilometers and nearly 20,000 meters of altitude, before a champion can emerge.
So far, 22 teams of riders are expected for the men’s Tour de Suisse in 2025, though a final entry list has not yet been released.
Last year, Great Britain’s Adam Yates won the race with a total time of 20:18:49, finishing 22 seconds ahead of Portugal’s Joao Almeida and 3 minutes, 2 seconds ahead of Denmark’s Mattias Skjelmose.
Yates’ twin brother, Simon, recently won the Giro d’Italia 2025, which took place from May 9 through June 1.

About The Tour de Suisse
The first Tour de Suisse – or Tour of Switzerland – was held in 1933. It started in Zurich and only featured five stages.
It wasn’t until the 1950s that the raced moved to its current June timeslot to serve as a warm-up event for many riders headed to the Tour de France.
The Tour de Suisse was not held for three years during World War II and went on hiatus again in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Similar to the Tour de France and other multi-stage races, the Tour de Suisse offers a variety of jersey colors rewarded for success along the route – overall leader (yellow), points leader (black), king of the mountains (red) and best young rider (white).
The same applies for the shorter women’s Tour de Suisse (now four stages), which debuted in 1998 and was held until 2001, before taking a long hiatus of its own. It returned in 2021 alongside the men’s race. This year will mark the ninth running of the women’s race.
Italy’s Pasquale Fornara has the most wins at the Tour de Suisse with four – 1952, 1954, 1957 and 1958, while three other riders have won three times, and seven have a pair of victories.
As a country, Switzerland tops the wins list at the men’s Tour de Suisse with 23 wins, followed by Italy (20) and Belgium (eight) and Germany (four). Four countries have won three times, seven have won twice and six others have been represented in the winner’s circle once.
Zulfiya Zabirova has the most wins on the women’s side with two, while Demi Vollering of the Netherlands is the reigning champion.
