This is only the second time that the finish in Parque de Cabárceno has appeared in La Vuelta, after it’s debut in 1996 with a victory by Biagio Conte.
Technical director of La Vuelta, Paco Giner, says that today’s finale is complicated, with a 2-km climb with ramps of up to 14-16%, followed by a descent and final spike inside the park. “It’s a difficult finale to control and will favor a breakaway.”
