PREVIEW | Tour of Guangxi 2024 stage 1 - Final sprint battle of the year begins on opening day of the race

The Tour of Guangxi will be the final World Tour event of the season; taking place between the 15th and 20th of October. The peloton will be in China for what is the final stage-race of the season, but one that will still be important to many. We preview stage 1.

The opening stage will take the riders on a circuit around the town of Gangchenggang. It is a day for the sprinters, but stage 1 will already be one with some explosive sections where riders will understand where their form stands - at this time of year this will be over a very wide spectrum.

Three hilltops will be climbed in the final 30 kilometers, the last of which comes with 16 kilometers to go (1Km at 6.7%). Not brutal, but attacks may come. There are over 10 flat kilometers towards the finish then however and it is in no way a technical finale.
