Terrain & Elevation
The course covers a genuine mix of surfaces, with rocky terrain (31%) and grass (26%) being the most common and neither clearly dominating. The terrain is highly fragmented, switching roughly every kilometre. This demands constant mental engagement and limits the ability to build a sustained rhythm from surface consistency alone. Climbs are mostly on rocky terrain, though the surface varies across the ascents. Descents cover a variety of surfaces with no single terrain type dominating.
