Commentary by David Loosli
There is every chance the overall standings could be shaken up on the final stage. While the 4th stage is not particularly long, at around100 kilometres, it is seldom flat. 45 kilometres in, the climb over the Hemberg will cause a stir in the peloton. Only the strongest will be able to keep to the front. After the field has crossed the finish line for the first time, two tough final laps await. This is where the ultimate battle for the yellow jersey of the Tour de Suisse Women will take place. The stage is set for an exhilarating finale.
