Island Hopper is a short and lively route hopping across small islands, each with unique scenery and challenges. The course mixes flats with short, punchy climbs, giving a constantly changing landscape and making it a great route for riders who thrive on varied terrain.
Punchy riders and all-rounders will find this course favorable, with opportunities to break away on each short climb. Attacks will likely happen on the climbs, where riders can try to escape from the group. Sprinters need to conserve energy and stay alert to bridge any gaps, positioning themselves for a potential sprint finish if the pack remains together.
