The start is at 13:50 in Vichy, at 255 m of altitude. The course is mostly flat, with two fourth-category climbs. You then pass Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule at km 28.1, at 248 m, and Chemilly at km 49.7, at 238 m. From Vichy to Chemilly, the altitude of these three points changes little.
Saint-Ennemond comes at km 73.8, at 222 m, then Decize at km 92.2, at 203 m. The longest climb of the course begins at km 105.7, between La Machine and Anlezy. You pass Anlezy at km 109.3, at 220 m, and the climb carries on to the high point, at 364 m at km 123.9, for a gain of 152 m. You pass near Billy-Chevannes shortly before that high point.
After the high point, the road drops toward Guérigny, at km 148, at 208 m, then reaches Nevers at km 164.4, at 196 m of altitude. Over the full 164.4 km, you add up 1,509 m of climbing and 1,568 m of descent, for a finish sitting below the altitude of the start.
