Course description
A middle-distance race in the south of Gran Canaria over 2 km / 80 km / 18 km. Just 80 km of riding pack in 1,462 metres of climbing — the course goes straight from the sea into the island's mountain roads. One of the toughest profiles of the early season.
Coach tip
1,462 metres of climbing over 80 kilometres means your bike split says nothing about your form on flat courses — do not compare them.
Without climbing work over the winter this becomes a long day — find hills or simulate them on the trainer.
The descents are technical; practise riding in the drops rather than in the aero position.
