The Tour de Romandie gets underway tomorrow in Le Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The 6 day UCI World Tour stage race will conclude on Sunday 1 May and a star studded field is expected.

Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka will send a strong and versatile squad to suit this challenging route. Kanstantsin Siutsou and Kristian Sbaragli will be two of the key riders in Romandie as they add the final touches to their Giro d' Italia preparations. Merhawi Kudus will hope to shine on the mountain stages with Natnael Berhane also one for the tougher stages. South African champion Jaco Venter will be joined by Cameron Meyer, Songezo Jim and Youcef Reguigui to complete the line-up.

Sports director Oli Cookson said:

"The Tour de Romandie is an important race for our team. We have a great opportunity to perform well here and achieve some good results on key stages. Our riders have clear objectives that we hope to achieve over the coming days, which will also stand our team in good stead for the Giro d' Italia and the Tour of California next month."
