The GP Marseillaise is typically less than 150km long to give riders a gentler re-entry into racing after a long winter. But now that riders come out of the off-season with more form, the race will be 167.9 kilometres in length.
It's a lumpy parcours that starts with a neutral rollout to Allauch, heading over several long but shallow climbs - the Montée le Terme, Pas de la Couelle, Col de l'Espigoulier and Les Bastides at Roquefort-la-Bedoule - as the route heads North toward Fuveau before turning back south to the coast.
