Analysis

Finally, a Grand Tour in our home country. La Vuelta Femenina continues to strength this May its status, one teams and fans had long pursued, as its reaches seven stages long. And the route of the race formerly known as Challenge by La Vuelta, despite its long transfers, will honour what’s asked from it: chances for all riders, quite hard routes and margin for tactical alternatives.

A 14.5km team time trial in Torrevieja (Monday 1st), quite technical and with some slopes near the finish, will be followed by two days for the sprinters. Winds should be playing a bigger impact on stage two towards Pilar de la Horadada (Tuesday 2nd), though those crosswinds shouldn’t be ruled out on day three to La Roda (Wednesday 3rd), either.

From there, the key stages will ensue. An up-and-down route from Cuenca to Guadalajara (Thursday 4th), with Horche (Cat-3) close to the finish, will be continued by a demanding stage five, overcoming Navafría (Cat-1) halfway through before some windy areas towards Riaza and the unknown mountain-top finish of Peñas Llanas (Cat-2) on Friday 5th. And then, the decisive ones in the north of Spain: Cantabria on Saturday 6th, with Fuente las Varas (Cat-2) and Campo Layal (Cat-2), and the feared, legendary Lagos de Covadonga (HC) on Sunday 7th, to decide the race.
