This is a repeat from season 1, for good reason: the Harrogate Circuit is a super-challenging course with plenty of places to attack and very few chances to recover.
The longest race of the season, this event features 3 efforts up the Volcano KOM. It’s one for the climber, but if a puncheur can hold on they stand a good chance of winning the final sprint.
As the first of two knock-out playoff races, this event will be fun to watch. The route caters to sprinters initially with five laps of The Fan Flats, then heads off to Libby Hill for one final smashfest. Can the sprinters drop the punchy climbers before the final climb?
