The big tour start in Dornbirn
“The 72nd Tour of Austria begins in Dornbirn, which has already been a partner of the Tour several times. The major Austrian cycling event starts already on Saturday evening when all 20 participating teams are presented on the tour stage at the market square in Dornbirn. Then on Sunday the starting signal will be given for the first stage, an attractive and exciting route around many exciting regions of Vorarlberg. A first leading group will definitely form here, before the sprint for the first jerseys takes place in a super-fast final in front of the Dornbirn town hall”.
