The rolling terrain is where breakaways will form, with rouleurs and punchy climbers looking to exploit the undulating roads. The flatter sections will favor a fast chase group, but the climbs provide ample opportunity for attackers to shake off the pack. This route rewards versatility, with strong all-rounders having the best chance of success in a long, attritional race.
