[LaFlorecita]

As Forunculo said, they're open about their intentions of preventing anything significant from happening until the last climb of the last stage.

In this interview, Olano used the word "sadly" when referring to the Fuente De stage.

That's ridiculous.

MTFs in bold. Count them at your own peril

 

[Netserk]

MTFs in bold. Count them at your own peril

And I thought that the Giro '11 was pushing it

 

[Eshnar]

wait. So there are 4 (FOUR) consecutive uphill finishes at the end?

 

[Netserk]

7 (If you don't count the rest day)

 

[the asian]

Blocks of 2, 3, 3 and 4 consecutive MTF.

Purito is really mad to do the Tour this year. He won't get a better chance to win the vuelta unless Unipublic becomes even more *** next year.

 

[Red Rick]

I see one good thing, climbs get overused way faster this way, so they might try to find new climbs faster

As Netserk pointed out, there are actually seven.

Unipublic are better than ASO in that regard.

 

[Descender]

In the last two weeks, there will be 3 flat or flatish stages, 1 ITT and 10 MTFs.

 

[apmfbs]

Well, Burgos is not a summit finish, it will be a finish after the descent of a 3rd/4th cathegory climb.

Wasn't it rumoured to finish on the Castle?

Not really, not enough surface for the Vuelta it would finish in an important avenue.
Besides in the last days it is supposed to be 11 summit finishes and they didn´t say anything about Burgos, so it would be a flat stage with just the ascent of the castle to give emotion to the last kilometres

Jiha, we have a breakaway stage

The only open question seems to be the second Pyrenees stage. It's supposed to be long and hard, and there have been rumours about a French finish, but knowing Unipublic I'd bet on a half-arsed stage to mighty Cerler with Cantó + Bonaigua and little more.

 

[apmfbs]

The stage of Andorra will start in Bagá so it is close to Andorra, we can have now Ordino, Comella, Rabassa and Canolich in only 150-160 km or Envalira, Ordino, Comella,etc

If the French finish is the case, then surely Cantó + Bonaigua then about 40km of flat before finishing halfway up the Col de Menté/Mourtis Ski Station would be more Unipublic's style?
