Whole Lotta Lava combines several loops around Watopias volcano, giving riders a steady, lava-infused workout with rolling terrain and hot scenery. This is a punchy, fast-paced course that offers a mix of flat sections and gradual inclines, so dont underestimate the heat!
The gradual climbs around the volcano are likely attack points, especially for rouleurs looking to whittle down the pack. Sprinters will need to pace themselves and save energy for the finale. The race favors those who can manage repeated efforts on the rolling terrain and still have gas left for a final sprint.
