Riders navigated the winding Tianmen Mountain cliffside road, tackling 99 sharp bends and a continuous climb in elevation, demanding advanced cycling techniques and extreme physical endurance.

American participant Armin Rahm said in an interview: "I keep coming back to Tianmen Mountain because this road race is a very hard and challenging course. When you get to the top, you have a scenic view of the mountains, and also of the stairs. It is very beautiful."
