How this race tends to play out

A/B close the round with a genuine mountain race - 744 m of climbing in 23.6 km, over 35 m/km, taking in four KOMs including the Radio Tower. Weight beats aerodynamics decisively at those gradients. C/D ride a ZRL-exclusive route that is not in the public route catalog, so no ranking can be computed for it.

Dynamic physics model active

Dynamic physics is active. Rider height affects aerodynamic drag; this route’s elevation profile is real, measured GPS data (not synthesized), so grade changes are modeled at their actual position along the route.
