We'll see what Bjorn does (whether he goes up and over or round the side to the bottom of the CP3 parcours.
I think most riders will do what Skinny did. When I looked at it there didn't seem to be an obvious alternative that saved any climbing without being far longer. The advantage of going down the parcours is, of course, that it puts you in exactly the right place to start going up it!

FRRT has estimates of climbing but only for what they've done. I don't have Skinny's climbing figure for when he was at CP3 in order to compare against Bjorn when he gets there.
FWIW the figures are now:-
Skinny: 29036m
Bjorn: 27949m
Skinny has obvious been up to CP3, down the other side, back up again and then back South.
The climb up to CP3 is 1000m vertical gain alone. We'll see what Bjorn does (whether he goes up and over or round the side to the bottom of the CP3 parcours.
