The race will be just over 190 kilometers long, with a mostly flat start and a hilly circuit finale – one that features three laps of a hilly circuit where there should be plenty fireworks. 2200 meters of climbing, the grand majority in its final half.<\/p>\n
Once the first half of the route has been covered, we enter Figueira da Foz once again where we find two main climbs: Rua Parque Florestal (2.3Km; 7.8%; 20Km to go) and after some rolling terrain, the very short but sharp ‘Enforca C\u00e3es’ (800 meters; 7%; 6.1Km to go). This is a circuit that will be tackled on three occasions, with both climbs featuring double-digit gradients where it is not complicated for the best climbers to create damage. It’s a very fast downhill then into the final few kilometers where it’s still possible, but hard to chase a lone attacker.<\/p>\n
