Muir and the Mountain combines flat sections with a tough climb up the Epic KOM and a trip through the jungle. This route is well-suited for climbers, offering challenging terrain with plenty of opportunities to make a move on the slopes.
The Epic KOM is where climbers will likely launch their attacks, aiming to create separation on the steady gradient. Rouleurs may try to control the pace on the jungle flats, but the main battle will be on the mountain. A climber who can set a hard, consistent pace on the KOM is well-positioned to hold off any chasers and secure the win.
