Route Description
Beginning from the Jungle start pens, we get to enjoy the longest descent of the day as we zip across the bridge and down to the Marina over the first 2 kilometers. Then the work begins!
We make our way up to The Esses, whose rollers we’ll ride over to the Volcano. Come around the Volcano and head to Jarvis, where we’ll ride nearly two full laps. That means two attempts at the Jarvis KOM, two Jarvis Sprints, and one official complete Jarvis lap in case you want to chase the orange jersey.
Those climbs were just a warmup, though. The big finish is just up the road! Leave the Jarvis circuit to quickly find yourself heading up the Volcano KOM, which is the finishing climb and the reason this route is named what it’s named. Good luck!
