A cycling route can look tidy on a screen and still feel utterly flat. The challenge here is to make a reader sense the climb, the long valley and the sudden change of pace before they study a single stage in detail.

La Grande Boucle Fantôme is a 21-stage race imagined through beautiful arithmetic: a route whose numbers matter, but whose terrain should matter more. Its design turns scrolling into a kind of riding, letting the shape of the landscape guide the eye through the race rather than presenting the stages as a static list.
For sports fans, that shift changes how a roadbook reads. Distance and elevation become part of the experience; the journey gains rhythm, and the mountain starts to feel less like a statistic and more like a looming opponent. The result invites you to follow the route with your eyes, then pause to see how its stages fit together.
How do you make a page rise and fall with the roads it describes? The full case study follows the design decisions behind that terrain-shaped scroll—and reveals the detail that makes the wheel feel the mountain.
