Achterbahn
Points Race
48km, 990m elevation.
This race often starts easy for the first 3km. Then the "fun" begins. The first climb averages 6.9% but parts of it are over 16%. Groups will string out and split up. The first sprint segment is the rarely used Sprint Reverse. Groups will be small and the draft will be minimal, if any. We will then hit the Legsnapper from the reverse direction. We then go back up the mountain, this time in the opposite direction. There are 2 sprint segments after the descent. The Legsnapper climb is classed as a sprint for this stage. It is followed closely by a normal Sprint segment. Sprinters need to be very aware of the Virtual Broom Wagon (VBW) of 20% on this one.
