MOONSCAPE MOUNTAIN BIKING
Stage 1 highlights the diversity of the island of Krk. From the early almost lunar surroundings of the Moon Plateau to the pastures and meadows mid-stage, and a trail along a canyon floor with its walls standing imposing alongside. The 72 kilometres are action-packed. There is also hardly a moment of flat track to offer prolonged respite. Teams will be climbing or descending all day as they notch up 1530 metres of elevation gain, which includes ascent to the second highest point of the race, within the first 10 kilometres of the stage.
