5 days of racing, including one Time Trial, for this class Pro stage race.

Winners of previous editions were Hirschi🇨🇭, Tiberi🇮🇹 and McNulty🇺🇸. None of them is coming.

Van der Poel (🇳🇱 Alpecin) is coming back to the road. Will he be active or just training for the World Championship?

Here is the general map. As you can see, Luxembourg is small, and each stage is already almost a Tour of Luxembourg 🙂

Stage 1: Wednesday 16

158 km, D+ 2400 m

It can't be seen on the stage profile, but the last 250 m are uphill. There is also a sort of hairpin to cross the river a bit after the flamme rouge.

Stage 2: Thursday 17

167 km, D+ 2000 m

The last 30 km are on a circuit (2.5 laps).

Stage 3: Friday 18

179 km, D+ 3000 m

The last 30 km are again on a circuit (2 laps), a very hilly one.

Stage 4: Saturday 19

20 km, D+ 350 m, ITT

There is a 1 mile climb after 4 km, half of which is around 10% steep. Then very light hills, and then a mini wall followed by an uphill false flat after 14 km. On reaches the line after a 2 km long descent.

Stage 5: Sunday 20

177 km, D+ 2900 m

Guess what? The last 30 km are on a circuit (a bit more than 2 laps), very hilly again.
