Begin in downtown Watopia and head up the short ramp to The Esses, which twist and turn and dump you at the fast start of the JWB Sprint Reverse. Catch your breath through the Italian Villas and up past the waterfall, then wave to the seals as you loop back to the JWB and head back through The Esses to the downtown banner.
That’s the sprint leg done. Now it’s time for the hilly leg!
Head up the Hilly KOM and go all-in for polka-dotted glory if you’ve got the legs. Then grab a bit of recovery on the descent, where you’ll turn a quick right onto the bypass road that loops back to the Hilly KOM.
Almost there! Just 1km of flattish roads take you back to downtown, where you’ll sprint for the win through the start/finish banner.
