GP Gippingen

Formerly known as the GP Canton of Aargau, the race benefits from the shorter Vuelta a Suiza to claim a Sunday slot — always a coveted position in the calendar — and once again serves as a perfect preview of the rolling terrain the peloton typically encounters in Swiss races when the Alps are not on the menu.

The race is built around seven ascents of the Rotberg, split into two sections, with the upper part covering 2 km at 5%. The final passage comes 12 km from the finish and typically whittles the lead group down to a solo rider (Powless in 2025) or a small group (Van Gils in 2024).
