Vuelta 2014 route rumours

[trevim]

bear in mind Unipublic is associated with ASO, which in its own world a Horse cat is a 7K climb at 7.5% to begin with. If the climbs where under RCS, they would certainly be a mere 3rd cat at best...

Nothing can top Zomegnan's madness when he had 5km @9% as a non-categorized climb. Oh the good old days of the Giro

They claim it's the first time a bike race departs from a ship. It looks that the take-off ramp isn't hard enough for a stage finish the day before.
