Tour de Suisse Women Stage 3 Preview

 Rolling!

Stage 3 profile from procyclingstats.com

 

A difficult stage with up-and-down climbing the whole way. With a 1+ minute gap to second place, a breakaway wins looks more promising than before, but I still think it's a GC day. The last climb is difficult enough to be selective, and I think we'll once again see Vollering try to go solo over the top and hold the lead to the line.

 Contenders

DEMI VOLLERING -- Why not a third stage? SD Worx to bring it back together before the final climb.

ELISE CHABBEY -- The breakaway hopeful will surely launch from the flag to get maximum points in the mountains competition; can she hold on for the stage win this round, though?

ELISA LONGO BOURGHINI -- The climb is short enough that she'll still be around at the top, and has a good sprint right now. If SD Worx can't get rid of her before the final summit, she'll be the favorite for the stage win.

KIM CADZOW -- A very good TT yesterday, as with the previous, if she's still around over the final summit, there's a good chance for the stage win.

JULIETTE LABOUS -- Another with a good TT today and who is climbing well overall, but I don't see her getting away from the others listed here.

Prediction

Elisa Longo Bourghini in a reduced bunch sprint from Vollering and Cadzow
