The elite men will climb over 5,400 metres during the 267.5km race.

The remnants of the field left at the finish comprised the best climbers of the day, hence the unlikelihood of noted time trialist Olano winning.<\/p><p>This was the \u201cnaughty nineties\u201d, of course, when EPO abuse was rampant. Many of the riders that Olano bested that day would be banned later for testing positive for illegal drugs.

The men will cover 15 laps plus an extra forty-kilometre diversion to the cobbled climb of the Mur du Kigali. As the latter comes mid-race, it\u2019s unlikely to have a significant impact on the results.<\/p><p>The elite women complete eleven laps without the detour to the Mur du Kigali.
