The course has been described by many riders as tough and twisty. From my course walk yesterday I see many instances where laser-accurate riding is required to make the short routes. The Argentinian chef d’equipe whom I bumped into on the course remarked that it was a good track which all riders should be capable of finishing – although it is obvious the easier long routes are very long, so the time penalties accrued will be very punishing to scores.
Here’s to safe rounds for all and a day of great sport.
