The Tour of Fire and Ice takes riders from the Volcano Circuit all the way up to the snowy peaks of the Alpe du Zwift, creating a contrast of hot lava fields and icy mountain roads. This is a long, brutal climb that requires endurance and power.
The Alpe du Zwift climb is where the action will be, as climbers look to push the pace and drop their rivals. Attacks will likely come in the lower slopes, with climbers aiming to create a gap that sticks. Rouleurs and sprinters will struggle to compete, making this a course for those who thrive on long, sustained efforts.
