The 78th Tour du Suisse will kick off tomorrow with a 9.4km prologue around the town of Bellinzona.
After receiving a wild card entry to this World Tour race earlier in the year, Team MTN-Qhubeka are excited to finally grab hold of the many opportunities that await them over the duration of the tour.
Nine days of racing against the worlds best riders who will be in peak physical condition ahead of the upcoming Tour de France, will be the main challenge at hand.
Along with the challenge of the sporting perspective at the Tour du Suisse, another challenging aspect of professional cycling lies ahead for Team MTN-Qhubeka.
Logistically, running a cycling team can be extremely difficult especially when you are racing everyday for three weeks, as in a grand tour.
After being invited to the Vuelta a Espana this year, the Tour du Suisse will provide MTN-Qhubeka with the perfect opportunity to use the nine days of racing in Switzerland as a full dress-rehearsal before its Spanish rendezvous in August.
We are expecting every bit of our infrastructure to be tested as the Team MTN-Qhubeka roadshow goes on display worldwide.
