The race opens inside the principality, setting off from Casino Square on roads that share stretches with the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. The course carries barely any climbing and almost no straight lines, turning continuously through the streets and dropping back to the water before the finish at Port Hercule, where the first red jersey is decided against the clock.
