Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with gravel (34%) and paved road (28%) being the most common and neither clearly dominating. The terrain is highly fragmented, switching roughly every kilometre. This demands constant mental engagement and limits the ability to build a sustained rhythm from surface consistency alone. The longest unbroken stretch is 6.9 km of paved road. Ascending sections cover a varied mix of surfaces with no single type dominating the climbs. Downhills are spread across a mix of surfaces, with gravel most common.
