Prestige:
Race 1

Short name, long suffering. Out and Back Again delivers 40 km of pure race craft—fast flats, brutal climbs, and nowhere to hide. The race opens at full throttle across Fuego Flats before riders dive into Ocean Boulevard and the Esses.

The first real move comes on the Volcano KOM, where VO2 power and anaerobic capacity decide who survives to the Hilly KOM, where the amount of reserve in the tank will show us who will sprint for the win at the finish line. Or... will there be a breakaway here? Expect all-rounders and punchy climbers to dominate here.
