What we said about Stage 5 on beforehand

Stage 5 is the queen stage of the 2025 Tour de Suisse, covering 183.5km with over 3,800 metres of climbing. The route features the race’s highest point on the Julier Pass (7.4km at 7%), followed by a long descent and a steady climb to the San Bernardino Pass (7.3km at 6%, though the full ascent begins much earlier).

The stage ends with two ascents of the steep Castaneda climb (4.5km at 10%), with the summit finish in Santa Maria in Calanca. It’s a brutal day of high-altitude racing that could reshape the GC.
