Detouring around KA.
"At a T-junction somewhere in Wyoming, riders will have the choice to turn left and venture through Nebraska along the Mormon Katy Trail or continue right along the classic route into the mountains of Colorado. It'll be interested to see which route riders take and whether there is an obvious advantage to either."

Thought last year's race might've attracted more HPV racers. Interesting with the detour option.

"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."
