The route leads mainly through the Parc Naturel Régional des Caps et Marais d’Opale, or The Regional Nature Park of the Opal Capes and Marshes. It’s rarely flat, but at the same time the undulations are nothing to be scared of. Yet, the combination with strong winds could turn out to be very hostile.
Which way the wind is – literally – blowing on Tuesday 5 July, we are likely to see the teams of the likes of Wout van Aert and Mads Pedersen to up the pace in the last 50 kilometres to make the finale as hard as possible. At that point there are still a number of short climbs at approximately 5% remaining before the last 10 kilometres are entirely flat.
