Van Avermaet, Matthews to face off again in Digital Swiss 5

After a difficult race of climbing on day 3 where Nicolas Roche soloed to victory atop the simulation of Nufenen Pass, the Digital Swiss 5 returns to 'flatter ground' for race 4. 

There could be a re-match between Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team) and Michael Matthews (Sunweb), who went head-to-head for the final podium spot behind winner Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) and Filippo Ganna (Ineos) on day 2.

The profile of race 4 includes two early climbs but a long, gradual 'descent' to the finish line. It will be a test of pure power and timing when to surge.

Küng returns with the Swiss National Team, while Kasper Asgreen leads the way for Deceuninck-Quickstep.

Roche and race 1 winner Rohan Dennis all have the day off, but Rally Cycling's Stephen Bassett and Matteo Dal-Cin return after top 10's on stage 2.

Race coverage begins at 7:10pm CET on Saturday.
