You begin to learn the hills’ personalities. One ridge launches you into a stretch where the terrain favors speed, the next demands delicate throttle modulation so you don’t flip backward.

The map becomes a microcosm of resource allocation under uncertainty—risk a big jump for a big score, or conserve and live to race another hill?
