Career
Early career
Born in Hagendorn, Elmiger's sporting career began with RMV Cham-Hagendorn.[3]
AG2R Prévoyance (2007–12)
One of the best moments in Elmiger's career was leading the 2007 Tour Down Under for 2 stages and then winning it by a mere 3 seconds over Australian Karl Menzies. He started the UCI ProTour strongly with a 19th place in E3 Prijs Vlaanderen, 17th in Gent–Wevelgem and 24th in Paris–Roubaix after crashing. On stage 2 of the Tour de Romandie, Elmiger finished 5th behind stage winner Robbie McEwen in the wake of a massive pileup involving several riders at high speed. Elmiger started the Tour de Suisse strongly with a 7th place in the prologue, finishing 10.82 seconds behind Fabian Cancellara and in front of riders like Andreas Klöden and Michael Rogers.
IAM Cycling (2013–16)
Elmiger left Template:Cycling data ALM at the end of the 2012 season, and joined the new Template:Cycling data IAM team for the 2013 season.[4]
On the fifteenth stage of the 2014 Tour de France, Elmiger broke away with Jack Bauer for Script error: No such module "convert"., only to be caught by the charging peloton a few metres from the line.[5]
