In terms of distance and profile, the hilly route is almost a carbon copy of the Tour de France ITT in Pau. That race will cover 27.2 kilometres on similar terrain. So this ITT is a perfect test.
The first 9.5 kilometres run uphill on rolling roads with shallow gradients before the last 2 kilometres kick up to a steep incline. The intermediate time check is located at the highest point of the day, while the next 14.6 kilometres are a mirror image of the first part of the race.
