Course intel
90 km with about 546 m of total elevation gain: plenty of undulation but no long climbs — the high point is under 80 m and the whole course is dense short rollers. Mid-October is early summer in southern Brazil and the island humidity is high. On the short climbs do not chase power; let the levels hold your overall intensity for you.

Speed score
Rolling terrain is where you overspend without noticing: 20 extra watts on every little rise adds up and empties your legs for the back half. Let power touch the top of the range on the small stuff and leave it there.
