Speaking at the technical press meet, Race Director, Hugh Jones said: "This year's race is using a lot of the same roads, but with a different balance to it. The new start and finish are pretty much on high ground.
"But the course goes out and back a few times, so it will be interesting to see how participants will pace themselves in the final stretch."
