This stage is tailor-made for the all-rounder in you. With its diverse terrain and challenges, it’s the ultimate playground for riders who excel in every aspect of the sport. But that’s not all! Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping experience as you encounter not one, not two, but three timed sprints – two Fastest Through Segment sprints (FTS) and one First Across the Line (FAL). This is your chance to showcase your versatility and tactical prowess.
