Right next to the same cities:Squire said:I thought it was gonna have six stages?
For an early season race, the climbs are pretty good. But I'm sure Colombia can provdide better options if they wanted to make something serious.

That looks awesome! But indeed not many riders would look forward to that so early in the season, so if they want to get a bit more of an international field (which I think they are succeeding in) they cant do something like that.

Also south from Bogotá:Escarabajo said:Climb to Alto Romeral (3300m)? I never heard of it. Why it has not been used in the Vuelta a Colombia?
Alto San Miguel is south of Bogota but not sure where is this other climb.

They will ride to the north climbing San Miguel, then flat to Sibaté and there, turn right (East) from the urban roads of this town. After 6Km it goes south again.
Apparently it was paved in 2010
