The wait is over. This season the Glory Grand Tour rolls out a brand-new 120 km loop that hugs the river delta before climbing into the rolling countryside north of the city. Expect three timed segments, two feed stations and a finish straight lined with thousands of cheering fans.
Course designers spent six months scouting roads to balance speed and spectacle. Riders chasing a podium will love the long, exposed flats where breakaways are born, while first-timers can pace themselves on the gentle early kilometres.
