The publication of the race data has been delayed due to a lack of feedback from the UCI. However, confirmation has now been received from the UCI. The organizers of Europe's most important race series below the World Cup have announced that the Proffix Swiss Bike Cup will once again include eight stages in 2019. This will provide an attractive platform for Swiss superstars such as Nino Schurter, Jolanda Neff and Alessandra Keller as well as the many up-and-coming talents.

Almost traditionally, the Tamaro Trophy in Rivera/TI opens the season on the first weekend in April. This is followed a week later by the stop in Buchs. The Bike Days in Solothurn and the Swiss Championships in Gränichen are the next highlights. Two races at altitude follow in June with Leukerbad and Andermatt, before the Basel Bike Festival and the finale in Lugano after the summer vacations. Leukerbad last hosted a Swiss Cup race in 2000.

"We are happy with the new race calendar and with Buchs and Leukerbad we can offer two venues that were not included last year," explains project manager Simon von Allmen. "Of course, we hope for similar weather luck as in 2018 and are already looking forward to the numerous top performances of all participants."
