Route analysis

How to approach this track

This is a technical route with frequent or steep profile changes. Approach blind crests under control and prioritize stable landings over maximum speed.

  1. The opening section drops overall; control rotation early so the bike is ready for the first compression.
  2. The middle sector contains several steep transitions. Brake before the slope changes and accelerate only when both wheels are settled.
  3. The final approach is relatively even. Focus on a clean exit from the preceding obstacle and ride through the flag.
