Description:
Stage with areas that have been ridden in previous editions but haven’t ever served as the opening of the race. Long track climb crossing wineyards to Clavijo. It continues climbing mostly on track and after the first singletrack stretch, the strong slopes begin. After a short downhill, the second part of the main climb begins on a spectacular singletrack section towards Luezas and ends reaching its top on a trail. It’s followed by the technical Senda Bonita descend to Nalda and after the aid station, very fast stretches to the vicinities of Logroño. Before getting to the finish line, the difficult Peña del Aguila loop will be done completely only this time.
