Stage: 12 - 28 December : Perez Zeledon - San Jose, 134.80 km

Final stage

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

24 km at 13% averag climbing!! yes that's correct eat your heart out europe. although after that is a long and relatively unsteep downhil. but much has to be decided today so I expect montana to blow up the race early

 

[Eric8-A]

Stage 12 and stage 10 would have been great to be made as summit finishes.

[Ryo Hazuki]

the vuelta tachira 2012 is incredibly hard. basically 1 real sprint stage 2 hilly and rest is all mountains. for the first time in years though, no rujano

 

[Michele]

Is the startlist known yet?

 

[roundabout]

24 km at 13% averag climbing!! yes that's correct eat your heart out europe. although after that is a long and relatively unsteep downhil. but much has to be decided today so I expect montana to blow up the race early

I would say that it's actually twice the length and half the gradient. Still tougher than anything in Europe though (even including the Canary Islands).

Love Bonilla celebrating in the background whilst the leaders sprint for the win

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

see all the crowds man. what a feats for costa rica. their best rider is back and he's maybe even better as in 2003. beating montana is incredible result

 

[Eric8-A]

Looks like this is going to be next.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

and during it will also start tachira. one of the greatest races in the world

 

[Lupetto]

for the first time in years though, no rujano

Do you know where he will start his season and about his calendar in 2012? I'm hoping for San Luis.

 

[jens_attacks]

Do you know where he will make his season start and about his calendar in 2012? I'm hoping for San Luis.

i don't know where i read that he also wants to try win vuelta a espana so that would be why he's starting so late.but you never know with rujanito,probably he's just bored to race tachira.
