The climbs that shape the race
The track holds 5 major climbs and 5 major descents. The biggest climb runs from km 8 to km 11: +718 m over 3.0 km at an average of 23.8%. One major climb starts in the last 30% of the course. The longest descent drops 314 m over 7.2 km from km 37, at an average of 4.0%.
Distance, total climb and high point are the organiser's. Each section's climb, descent, grade and high point, the low point and the named climbs are measured on the official GPX with the same method as the interactive profile, so the sections can add up to a slightly different total.
