Male Team 13 - 17 Aug
Vuelta a Burgos
787 Kilometers 5 Stages
Loyal to a very much recognisable pattern in the last few years, with interesting finishes all around, the Vuelta a Burgos reaches its 41th edition with a route where only stage two changes from last year. On Wednesday 14th, the riders will head towards Lerma, with an uphill finish -all five in this year’s race have a final slope- on the cobblestones that cover the road to the Ducal Palace (6% gradient).
The other four finishes are very much known. There will be two stages for tough, fast finishers: day one (Tuesday 13th), at the Castillo de Burgos (1km at 5%), and stage four (Friday 16th), in Clunia, a longer climb (2km at 5% max) towards the ‘Roman City’. The decisive climbs, though, will be the HC ascents of Picón Blanco -st. 3, Thursday 15th-, after four other rated climbs, and the traditional Lagunas de Neila -Saturday 17th-, which will end the race.
