I only think the Pandera stage or the Penas Blancas stage, is one stage to much depending on the finish climb. However, for the Jean province a better mountain stage would have been dificult to create. They could have done a double Penas Blancas climb and finish in Estepona. Besides that, I like...
I like it much more than the regular parcourses the Vuelta served. Proper queen stage, Possibility to Calor alto to do something before the finish. And a very tricky Andorra stage. You can't have bad legs at the start there. Of course, still a few to much stages only depending on the finish...
Sound like a lot of medium mountain stages, with a hard climb to finish the stage. Aitana will be very typical for this, probably a few 2nd category climbs, but impossible to force something before the final mountain finish. They can do if they want the same with Los Reales, Laguna de Neila...
There are also the Alpejuras, very good combi's possible there. And you can add Puerto de Escúllar/Padilla + Enix to the Calar Alto region. So, in that case Pandera is very disappointing
Well, it seems again, no multi mountain Alpejuras stage with Haza del Lino, but instead a useless Pandera finish, totally not unexpected, but highly disappointing still
