Friday, 19 June 2026 | 120.8 km | Flat
The peloton moves to eastern Switzerland for the flattest stage of the week around Bad Ragaz. The day opens hard, with the short but vicious Sankt Luzisteig (2 km at over 10%) right off the start, followed by the Cat. 3 Kobelwald climb (1.1 km at 8.3%). From there it’s flat all the way home, with only a gentle rise to the line in the closing metres. After two selective opening days, this was the clearest chance for the sprinters before the race turns towards the Aarburg time trial and the Villars-sur-Ollon mountain finale.
And the fast women delivered: Zoe Bäckstedt (Canyon//SRAM) proved strongest in the dash to the line, taking the stage win ahead of Lily Williams and Shari Bossuyt.

Why is there a different level of coverage for the women's race???
The coverage of the women's race is pathetic… And PLEASE STOP giving away the finish in the video thumbnail picture!! It kind of makes it pointless watching the video!! 🤷♂️🤦♂️
