"This year's race could be dominated by the weather, with floods and road closures plaguing many sections of the route. McKenzie Pass – an iconic section the leaders hope to clear on the first night – is still partially closed due to snow and repair works after fire damage last year, forcing a 17-mile diversion."
Thought last year's race might've attracted more HPV racers. Interesting with the detour option.
