Analysis
Back to its traditional February dates, the Vuelta CV features two significant changes in its route for 2022: the absence of a time trial -five road stages will be covered this time- and some gravel roads, uphill, at a tough, new mountain-top finish on its Queen stage.
The Antenas del Maigmó, in Tibi, Alicante -actually, almost the same road as the Balcón de Alicante, where La Vuelta held a stage finish in 2021-, will be, with its grueling 5.4km at more than 10%, the brutal decision of stage three (Friday 4th), also including some other better known climbs, such as the Coll de Rates (Cat-2), Fageca (Cat-3), Benifallim (Cat-2) or Tibi (Cat-3).
The race GC will be decided between that stage and the inaugural day towards Torralba del Pinar (Wednesday 2nd), over the final climbs to Ayodar (Cat-3) and a Cat-2 ascent just before the line. The other three stages will be quite more suited to the sprinters, in Torrent (Thursday 3rd), Torrevieja (Saturday 5th) -watch out for coastal winds at these- and Valencia (Sunday 6th).
