Preview:

The 11th edition of the Tour de Suisse Féminin, running from the 22nd until the 25th of September, will this year precede the final round of the Womens World Cup

After beginning with a 2.4 km prologue in Schleitheim, there follows a 111 km circuit race in the same location. Stage 2, on Thursday in Eggiwil, is the main mountain stage and will assuredly test the riders. A torturous 10 km mountain ITT will take place on Friday 24th in Goeschenen, with the riders tackling the "Goescheneralp". The race finishes on Saturday 25th with another circuit race in Embrach. On Sunday the final UCI World Cup race for women will be contested over a similar course.

A very strong starting list will see previous winners, Rasa Polikeviciute (Lit) and Sulfia Sabirowa (Rus) do battle with the likes of Swiss ex-world champion Barbara Heeb, Italians Alessandra Cappellotto and Fabiana Luperini, as well as strong teams from Russia, Canada and Australia.

The final round of the World Cup promises to be another exciting contest. At present Hanka Kupfernagel (Ger) leads by just 18 points from Anna Wilson (Aus). In addition, Petra Rossner (Ger), winner of the last World Cup race in Holland, could still be a challenge. 1998 World Cup winner Diana Ziliute (Lit), will not be able to defend her 1998 success after she had missed too many races from illness.
