There is no rest in this edition of La Vuelta. After the breakdown and the punishment suffered yesterday in the 12th episode with the final at Manzaneda Mountain Stationthis Friday’s Spanish round presents a new challenge with many open fronts.
It’s a different day than yesterday, more demanding. Longer, 175.6 kilometers, there is no flat meter and features four mountain passes. The first came at kilometer 33 of the day (Alto Campo de Arbre3rd), followed at kilometer 75 of Alto Or Portelo (2nd), before half-flattening in the last two solar passes, separated by only 20 kilometers.
The first serious test is for cyclists in Port of Llumeras (2nd), followed by the outcome in Port of Ancareswhich ascended for the first time along its Leonese side. A tough final test of 7.7 kilometers of ascent, at an average of 9% and ramps of 12% and 15% at the end.
An important day ahead for the men in the general classification, as the man himself pointed out yesterday Mikel Landa. “Tomorrow’s stage (today) will be key, but I prefer Sunday’s stage, with promotion on Cuito Negro, which the man from Alava knew well.
