All stages have neutral starts with yellow beacon & fence, then finish with a punchy climb race!
Yellow beacon sets pace of low-2wkg for neutral starts (everybody rides together until the punchy climb).
Fence will zap flyers during neutral starts, and fence will drop to indicate start of each punchy climb race.
Any rider ahead of yellow beacon when fence drops may receive a time penalty or DQ.

All riders start in same pen, results in ZwiftPower (per WKG category).
GC time is sum of stage 1 KQOM segment time (FTS) + stages 2-6 finish times (FIN) + stage 7 KQOM segment times (2 FTS).
Riders need to join ZwiftPower.com to see their GC time.
