The Big Ring

The Big Ring combines flats and hills to create a power-intensive course, requiring strength and endurance in equal measure. The varied terrain keeps riders on their toes, with flats giving way to punchy climbs that test a rider’s power output.

The rolling hills provide numerous chances for rouleurs and punchy climbers to attack and shake things up. Rouleurs will aim to set a strong tempo on the flats, while climbers may attempt to push the pace on the uphill sections. Sprinters who can hang on through the rollers may find an opportunity for a fast finish, but the course favors strong all-rounders.
