Every day, for a few hours on television, the Tour de Romandie winds its way through the roads and landscapes of French-speaking Switzerland. A race, images, winners. But behind this familiar spectacle lies a complex organization, behind-the-scenes decisions, and dozens of people who make the event happen day after day.
Behind the miles, the climbs, and the finish lines lies everything we don’t see: the daily grind, the small adjustments, and the choices that shape a career at the highest level.
Elise Chabbey, 32, is the Swiss cyclist who combines power, racing intelligence and personality.

Behind her victories lies a thoughtful athlete, capable of handling pressure while remaining approachable. Welcome behind the scenes of Elise Chabbey.
