Presentation when everything will be done.
TTT in mountain. We had one at Jura in 2008 I think, and I found that interesting. This one is longer, but less hard.
It's a short stage, because the teams would be dead after the TTT .. But it's not an easy one, and the leaders with reg can make a first gap there.
Normally it's a flat stage, to have back some power. But we have 5-4% 8kms before the end ..
First HC stage. I don't think we'll see much attacks before the last hill, but it is possible. Last hill : 13-14-17-8
The nice Monte Patria :
Easy stage. Last hill : 5-10-6-8-5-12
Maybe the hardest stage. Only 156km, but almost only up. The camino al infierno is not that hard, but it is very long. And the second hill of the day is awfull.
Rest day in San Jose de Jachal. Nice city !
Flat stage, the second one. There is a 9, but it should not be a problem... But you have to be online.
One of my favorite stage due to the fact there is no downhill between the hills. You can animate the race there.
Last hill : 6-7-7-8-8-8-9
This one is hard too, due to the paves, and the big hill. Maybe it will hard to attack, but you can do something. Last km : 6%
The circuit in Uspallata might be dangerous. 9-8-8-5-5-5 . You'll have to decide at which km you can attack, because there is no flat km so a climber can escape well.
It's an hard day .. Only up with dead teams, even some of the teams would have lost riders.
Middle mountain stage, the big teams can make the decision there.
Flat stage, but you have to be online from the beginning !
45kms of flat ITT. Maybe you have to tactic, because it's long, but not too long.
The stages are saved as : cdlaa1101, cdlaa1102 , etc etc .. if you want to see the details. Have fun.
