Power to the portal race - sent me up the wrong climb!?

As per the title.
I was running in the lead pack, 1st over Jarvis kom and 3rd onto the portal climb

As soon as I entered the portal everyone else disappeared and I rode the rest of the climb on my own

I didn’t think anything of it until I finished at the top and was something like 3rd from last, I didn’t think I’d dropped 54 places in the 10mins of the climb..

Then I checked my activity and Strava and noticed my climb was completely different to everyone else’s, I was sent up the Cote des Forche instead of the Kwaremount.. so nearly twice as long

:expressionless_face:

A bit miffed that I’m now going to have to do it again.. and fingers crossed they send me up the right climb this time!

This is a common problem with any event on a portal route. You are rolling the dice by entering those events - maybe works, maybe doesn’t. Same thing happened in the MAAP stage 3 event a while back.
