How it was measured
The course comes from ASO's own published geometry, the same data that draws the stage map on letour.fr, not from a route planner joining towns. VeloWorkout measures 145.1 km from Tarragone to Barcelone against the 168.5 km the roadbook prints, and 1,528 m of climbing against a published 2,500 m. Elevation is sampled from the Terrarium elevation model and smoothed, so digital-model noise is not counted as climbing.
The stage finishes on repeated laps of the Montjuic circuit, so ASO publishes its geometry as hundreds of overlapping fragments that cannot be walked by kilometre. These waypoints were geocoded from the official roadbook and then verified to sit on official route geometry (all within 500 m). There is a wide unpinned gap between km 94 and km 141 on the run into Barcelona, and the three Montjuic passes share one coordinate: a router fed these in order will follow the right roads but will not reproduce the laps. 1 waypoint pair(s) sit further apart than the race road between them allows; those points need a human eye. Climbing total disputed: ASO 2500 m against PCS 2049 m. This build measures 144.7 km against a published 168.5 km (-14.1%). It measures 1528 m of climbing against a published 2500 m (-38.9%). Built by chaining 406 published geometry fragments; the largest straight-line gap between them is 2368 m.
