• New to the forum, I have a question, what is the significance of the red line at the controls? Thanks

  • It hasn't been talked about much, but I assume it's the bonus climb attached to every CP. They have to do that after they check in at the CP. From memory, last year they were actually defined as separate CPs? Looking back at last year's map, they no longer show up like that, probably because the software has changed to accommodate the organisers' wish to no longer have it as a full CP but as that kind of adjunct to it?

  • As mentioned they are the mandatory parcours, bits of route that must be ridden in a specified direction. They can be done before or after the CP, so you see riders doing both, I think they are always "interesting" bits of road, normally climbs
