Route Description
We begin from the Normandy start pens and head onto a section of France’s newer cobbled roads, taking on the Dos d’Âne Sprint Reverse before turning right to head onto the twisty, rolling Les Intestins.
From there, you’ll turn left onto France’s main outer loop, heading counterclockwise to go up the backside of the Petit KOM. Descend the zigzags after you finish climbing, hit the Ballon Sprint Reverse and Dos d’Âne Sprint, then ride through the field of sunflowers to the village where the Pavé Sprint Reverse awaits.
You’ll take on the Aqueduc KOM Reverse soon after the sprint, then you get just a couple minutes of flat road before hitting the course’s final obstacle: the Petit KOM. The KOM arch is the finish line for the route, so give it all you’ve got to the line, then turn right at the top to head downhill for some easy miles. You’ve earned it!
