From the 18th to the 22nd of September the peloton will tackle the Tour de Luxembourg. The five-day stage-race in the small central European nation features plenty explosive stages which will serve as perfect preparation for the World Championships. We preview stage 1.
The first day of the race is already hilly and quite difficult. Throughout the stage there are a few tough ascents but all efforts will likely be saved for the finale. There will be a 1.8-kilometer climb averaging almost 9% that ends with less than 10 kilometers to go where attacks should come... But then also an uphill finish and a 300-meter ramp to the line that is at 10% and should make for a thrilling slow-motion sprint.
