After a false flat up and a false flat down in the opening kilometres it is with 15 kilometres done the first climb kicks in – this is the toughest offering a 9.2% grade for 800 metres. Five kilometres down the road the next climb is a 1.6 kilometre section at 4.5%, while at kilometre 17 a 1.4 kilometre climb at 4.1% awaits the riders. Then a drop and with 35.1 kilometres done the last climb is 900 metres at 6.3%. Once atop the climbing is done and in the flat and final 2.4 kilometres the message is to thunder home as fast as possible.
