Not to worry, you won't have to ride to Dakar all the way from Paris. In fact, you'll only have to follow the road along the coast. But don't let that flat profile fool you, there's constant undulations on this one. Can you keep your squad together or will you fall out of the draft?

It's VCN Championship week! This course is a challenge unlike any you have faced in this series before. Following the Rio Olympics Time Trial course, you and your squad will suddenly turn off the flat road along the shoreline and find yourself faced with four horrible climbs, each one far worse than the one before it. And you have to take a strong team over all of them, because at the final summit, the finish line is still far away. If you want to claim the championship, you will need power, tactics and a well matched and perfectly coordinated team. Let's see if you've got what it takes!

Any New Yorkers should recognise a lot of this course. You'll have to cross Manhattan Bridge out of the gate and Williamsburg Bridge just before the line as your major obstacles. And in between, you'll get the chance to perform at your best on Broadway.

What this course lacks in technicality or elevation, it makes up for in length. Make sure you don't burn any of your matches too soon, otherwise one of the five overpasses may be the one that gets you. And after the race, make sure to check your Strava feed for your latest gem.

To conclude this series, you'll be faced with yet another tough challenge. Gran Canaria, popular amongst pro cyclists, will throw some elevation at you. But in contrast to most courses, you'll also be faced with significant downhill sections. Stay together, because this one will decide your final rank on GC.
