Tour de Romandie 2024 prologue start times

The men’s Tour de Romandie gets underway on Tuesday with an opening prologue set to decide the first leader of the race.

The 2.2km time trial is flat but it is somewhat technical – there are eleven 90-degree turns on the route, so riders will have to work hard to keep their speed through the corners. At such a short length, it’s not necessarily for the most specialist riders, but just who is fastest and most powerful on the day during their effort.

As the times will be quite fast, the gaps on GC are likely to be minimal, but the first yellow jersey is up for grabs so riders will be motivated. The race’s main GC contenders include Tao Geoghegan Hart (Lidl-Trek), the UAE Team Emirates duo of Juan Ayuso and Adam Yates, and Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers).

Many of the GC favourites have been placed in the earlier start times to avoid bad weather later in the day. The first rider down the ramp at 14:50 CEST. The last rider to start will be UAE Team Emirates' Brandon McNulty at 17:30, who will be a contender for the win.
