Tom-Jelte Slagter will make his much anticipated return to racing after the Spring Classics at the Tour de Suisse.

The rider from Groningen has arrived back from a training camp in the Sierra Nevada. There he laid the foundation for the next Tour de France. In the Tour of Switzerland, the rider of Garmin-Sharp wants to test his legs. 

"I do not have specific goals for Switzerland. I hope to find my legs of the spring with my double victory in Paris-Nice and high placings in the Ardennes Classics. I have the confidence of the team got to the Tour to ride well. I need to get in shape again quickly but I hope that Switzerland gives me confidence. "
