Read moreThe Design av Småland Cup is a two-day sprinting feast that celebrates a region known for its clean and modern designs, most famously in furniture.
Its second stage starts in Alvesta, a major train transit hub for the region, despite being quite a small town itself.
The route goes northwards and slightly uphill for the first 100 kilometers, passing many wonderful lakes and towns. Just after passing Nässjö, the starting place of the final stage, the riders will have to turn left and start heading downhill towards Jönköping.
The final 10 kilometers are where it gets interesting, as the riders will have to take a steep descent towards Huskvarna, before entering Jönköping at high speed. Some sharp turns in the final two kilometers make it important for the riders to keep in a good position for the final sprint. The race ends right in front of the Jönköping University buildings, with a pleasant view from the podium towards Munksjön lake.
After a long day with two stages the riders will finally get a little bit of rest before the Cup will reach its climax in the final stage next day.
