Preparation and points to check

Differences and information still uncertain

These items are shown explicitly so an approximation is never presented as official data.

  • The officially published GPX is named 2026 while the race page consulted shows the 2027 edition; it is kept as the latest accessible organiser track, with no guarantee that the 2027 route will be identical.
  • The GPX calculates 161.6 km and about 6,549 m D+, which differ from the organiser's figures; the figures displayed therefore remain the organiser's.
