Route Description
This route begins with the exact same 35.8km as Three Musketeers, tracing the three big loops on Zwift’s France map which avoid the Petit KOM while hitting all the sprints. But instead of ending at the Sprinteur Sprint (which we hit 4x on this route), we continue on and retrace those same three loops in the other direction to double our distance!
So this route covers all the roads and segments on these three loops, in both directions. There is 1 KOM (Aqueduc) and 6 Sprints (Sprinteur, Sprint du Cratère, Dos d’Âne, Pavé, Ballon, and Marina) on this route, and we hit each of these in both directions, sometimes multiple times. That’s why it contains a whopping 20 segment attempts.
What happens if someone earns all 14 segment jerseys? Will it break the game? We’ll probably never know, since this route is too long to hit all 14 within an hour (the segment leaderboard times only last up to 1 hour).
