ROUVY, the indoor cycling specialist, has unveiled plans for five new routes from stages of the 2024 Tour de Suisse to be added to its platform. The new routes became available to ride on ROUVY from May 27, 2024.
As part of a continued partnership with the Tour de Suisse, ROUVY is spotlighting the five new virtual routes, from stages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 of the men’s race.
The Tour de Suisse, now in its 87th edition, sees many the world’s top stage race riders compete on challenging routes throughout some of Switzerland’s toughest terrain. The pro cycling race takes place across Switzerland between June 9-16, 2024.
According to ROUVY… ‘The parcours of the Tour de Suisse is well-suited to ROUVY’s mission, which is to provide stunning, immersive riding experiences for indoor cycling. The five featured routes form part of a Tour de Suisse Spotlight on ROUVY which runs from 27th May to 23rd June.’
As part of this spotlight on the new routes, riders will also now be able to ride a virtual Trek Speed Concept, as ridden by Lidl-Trek at the race.
The virtual bike will be available for all riders on ROUVY during the first week of the Tour de Suisse Spotlight, from May 27th to June 23rd. One hundred editions of the virtual bike will also be made available as prizes drawn randomly amongst finishers of the virtual cycling challenge.
All participants who complete the challenge, or participate in ROUVY’s Tour de Suisse official race, will receive a unique virtual jersey. Riders will also automatically be entered into a draw to win one of the 100 virtual Trek Speed Concept bikes on offer.
Virtual races will be organised on a part of each of the following stages:
- Stage 1 – TT, Vaduz, 4.3 km, 35m elevation
- Stage 2 – Kollbrunn, 32 km, 177m elevation
- Stage 3 – Rüschlikon, 36.9 km, 920m elevation gain
- Stage 5 – Cari, 18.3 km, 1098m elevation gain
- Stage 8 – TT, Villars, 16 km, 876m elevation gain
