Both previous two years, there was a great effort and competition from each team to win the champions’ jersey, in all versions of Bike Odyssey. In multi-day races, athletes struggled stage by stage in order to change the champions’ jersey hands and get hold of their own team, while in the one-day races gave the last drop of their power to not let be taken by the opponent the jersey of the winner. The route of the battle for the champions’ jersey is as follows:
