In its fight to innovate and bring originality to cycling, now the sixth stage of La Vuelta will start rolling from within Carrefour Jerez Sur. Ahead, 185 kilometers of intense mountains where the heat will continue to accompany the cyclists.
The stage breaks. Only the first 20 kilometers are flat and then the road starts to look upwards, to face the climb at the 73rd kilometer. Boyar’s Port (1st category, with a gradient of 812 meters, 14.7 kilometers of climbing at an average slope of 5.5% and ramps of up to 18%).
And after this great one, the mountain continues to two more third-class ports, the Air Port and the Puerto Martinez, before facing the final climb to Bee Heightswhere we hope they do not disturb the cyclists. There are 14.7 long kilometers of climbing, with an average slope of 5.5% and ramps of up to 10%.
It’s not a very difficult final climb, but the high speed at which it will travel, the heat and the struggle at the start will certainly punish the cyclists. It may be a day when a getaway comes, waiting for what he decides to do Primoz Roglic. The Slovenian and race leader indicated yesterday that he did not know whether or not to surrender the lead. Let’s see what happens today and if any of the favorites decide to act.
