While the general layout and the significant points are known the details of the actual route will not be available until revealed in November. Due to the countries involved there looks to be much high altitude riding in store for competitors. The 9000km race is scheduled to start January 2 and wrap up January 14 following jungle segments, dunes, salt-flats and more.
