By David Hunter Neuhausen am Rheinfall > Lachen 178km A typical Tour de Suisse sprint stage.

By David Hunter La Léchére-Les-Bains > Les Gets 148km 148km and 4000m of climbing. Time to launch a few grenades.

By David Hunter Saint-Martin-Le-Vinoux > La Plagne 171.5km A big day of climbing.

By David Hunter Loriol-Sur-Drôme > Le Sappey-En-Chartreuse 167km Fairly flat for around 135km, then hilly for 32km. It’s a funny stage.

By David Hunter Saint-Chamond > Saint-Vallier 171km I like the look of this one.
