La Vuelta al País Vasco presenta un recorrido con 32 puertos
A very mountainous edition with 32 categorized climbs and each stage an attacker could succeed - very exciting!
We start with a 156.5km stage with the top of a 2nd cat climb just 7 km from the finish
As far as I can see just 1 km of flat, maybe Samu can do something here?
The second stage looks like the easiest of the race, this could be a bunch sprint
The first MTF! A 2nd cat climb, not very steep but should cause some time differences between the GC contenders
Another MTF, last year Samuel Sanchez was the strongest on this climb for third time in three years, can he continue his winning streak? In La Vuelta 2012 this climb also featured, Alejandro Valverde beat Joaquim Rodriguez in a sprint, while the latter wasn't paying attention since he thought he had the win in the bag already.
