This Division 2 Classic will lead the riders through the beautiful Finnish midlands. The start will be in Tornio, the biggest city of the Finnish region Lappi Sea. The riders will face some difficult hills through the most beautiful forests and lakes.

From Tornio, the route goes along the coast for 25 kilometres. At Kemi, the route turns north, and here the hilly part of today starts. Here the riders will also enter the beautiful Finnish forests.

Going through villages with names like Hyypiö and Lehmikumpu, there will be many hills the whole race long. There are some difficult ones with a length of more than a kilometre and a percentage of more than 6%, though many hills will only be difficult in length. However, these hills too will drop the pure sprinters. Some ability in the hills is certainly required.

Also in the last kilometres, the peloton will face some hills. A good hiller might try to break away, but it's more likely that a thinned group of hilly sprinters will fight for the win in Tervola.
