A UCI CN national event, this individual time trial features a 29.7-km course with 433 meters of elevation gain, running between Aosta and La Tour-du-Pin. The route alternates between fast-paced stretches and more undulating sections, with several false flats and accelerations, particularly after Romagnieu and La Bâtie-Montgascon. The effort is uneven and demanding throughout the entire distance. All-around riders, capable of maintaining high power output while managing changes in pace, have a particular advantage here.
