How this race tends to play out

The two halves of the field ride genuinely different races this week. A/B get Makuri 40, where roughly a third of the route is off tarmac (22% gravel, 14% cobbles) and wheel Crr becomes the single biggest equipment decision; C/D get Urumaze, a clean, rolling lap where ordinary road aero wins.

Race details from the published round guide.
