Last winter I started to design a December Tour on the Canary Islands. The first 5 stages I liked pretty much but I was not able to make a good 12-day-tour out of this. Now I did the "Vuelta a Islas Canarias" out of the existing profiles:
Vuelta a Islas Canarias
saved as canary01 to canary05
Stage 1:
The first stage is a TTT on Lanzarote, from Arrecife to Haria. It looks pretty hilly but is not that steep, just a few 3% and three times 4%.
Stage 2:
Actually this was planned as a half stage after the TTT. But I think this would be too difficult. It's a short flat stage, just 100km. After the ascent in the beginning (5/6/4/8/6) there is no more siebkm.
Stage 3:
After the transfer (via ferry) the third stage is another flat stage on Fuerteventura. 195km in total and the last sieb combination at 153-155 (6/7/6). Not an easy day for the sprinters, but some strong teams can manage the mass sprint easily in my opinion.
Stage 4:
Transfer to Gran Canaria via ferry... The day for the GC and a hard mountain stage. But no "real" mountain-top finish, early action is required. A climbers stage.
Alto de Cazadores: 4 6 7 6 5 2 11 14 12 11 8 6 7 11 5
Alto de la Guirra: 4 6 7 5 6 4 5 4
Stage 5:
Last stage. A semi mountain stage. Maybe a fight between the classic sprinters and the good classic riders. Or a chance to do some GC fight?
In my opinion it's a nice 5 days tour. One stage for the entire team, two stages with possible mass sprints, one HC stage and one stage for the classics. Something for everyone.
