The typical terrain is predominantly flat to undulating, winding through the scenic southern parts of Mallorca. Key challenges often include contending with brisk island winds, which can significantly impact race dynamics, and navigating slight ascents that are generally not severe enough to deter the main sprinters. Its signature feature is serving as a vital early-season indicator for sprinters' form and a prime opportunity for teams to test and refine their lead-out strategies, commonly culminating in a fast, non-technical bunch sprint. Notably, the 2026 edition is set to depart from this tradition, featuring a 24km Team Time Trial.
