Contest #8 - La Vuelta 2021 [Cat. 1]
Contest #8 - La Vuelta 2021 [Cat. 1]
Let's not waste any time. It's time for the Vuelta contest, and you know the rules.
Constraints:
- Start in Burgos, finish in Santiago de Compostela. This means
a. Starting from the Cathedral and having Burgos region core of first three stages is mandatory
b. First stage shall have same exact start point and last stage shall have exact end point of real 2021 vuelta. Decide you if an ITT is reccomended because it's too dangerous to start/end there with an IRR stage.
c. Gamonteiro is the core climb of 2021 Vuelta. You have to insert it in your route.
For the rest, everything is free. You can also move out of Spain if you want, even if moving to France for doing Pyrenees is not too much a Vuelta tradition and means poorly idea of design.
Deadline is sunday, September 19, 23.59
Good luck

What about the key points of the 2020 Vuelta. Can they be used in this contest as well?
And is IRR a classic mass stage?

Re: Contest #8 - La Vuelta 2021 [Cat. 1]
I think I just created the most Vuelta like Vuelta that is possible. 10 MTFs, loads of 20% climbs and only 3 wholly flat stages
I should clarify, 4 of the MTFs are hilly, not big mountains

Re: Contest #8 - La Vuelta 2021 [Cat. 1]
Ecco la mia Vuelta. Dopo il Giro d’Italia dedicato all’anniversario della maglia rosa e il Tour dedicato all’alta moda, anche questa Vuelta ha un filo conduttore, l’80° anniversario della prima vittoria spagnola alla corsa iberica (1941). Ho cercato di inserire nel percorso le città natali di tutti gli spagnoli che hanno vinto la Vuelta, ne è rimasto fuori solo qualcuno (comunque ricordato lungo il percorso). Segnalo la particolare disposizione dei due giorni di riposo: il primo è previsto al secondo lunedì, il secondo al venerdì successivo. Aggiungo che il lungo trasferimento finale verso Santiago de Compostela è fattibile (ne hanno fatti di più lunghi, come quello di 600 Km da Andorra a Madrid)
Here is my Vuelta. After the Giro d'Italia dedicated to the anniversary of the pink jersey and the Tour dedicated to haute couture, this Vuelta also has a common thread, the 80th anniversary of the first Spanish victory in the iberian race (1941). I tried to include in the route the hometowns of all the Spaniards who won the Vuelta, only a few were left out (however remembered along the way). I point out the particular arrangement of the two rest days: the first is scheduled on the second Monday, the second on the following Friday. I add that the long final transfer to Santiago de Compostela is feasible (they have made longer ones, such as that of 600 km from Andorra to Madrid)

Re: Contest #8 - La Vuelta 2021 [Cat. 1]
Hello! New user here, I would like to make a submission to this contest.
maps/tours/view/19425
21 stages, 3143km, 2 individual time trials (64km combined), 1 team time trial, 6 high-mountain stages, 5 medium mountain stages, 7 flat stages.
It complies with the rules of starting in the Burgos Cathedral and ending in the Santiago Cathedral, having the first three stages in the Burgos province and the Gamoniteiro present in the route; in fact, it's the only horse catégorie I included. Besides that, I also included all 15 regions of peninsular Spain in at least a start or end of stage along other minor topics we'll see analyzing each stage individually.

Re: Contest #8 - La Vuelta 2021 [Cat. 1]
I would like to present my Vuelta:
For this contest I tried to stick to the model of the Vuelta of making all the important stages to be top finishes, ends that frequently are in short-steep climbs, so I sticked to this plan but not forgetting to have terrain to make far attacks, Thais for watching
Hope you like, and if is possible enjoy my Vuelta

Philosophy
This 2021 edition of La Vuelta was designed to contrast with the Giro and the Tour de France. While the Giro has bet a lot on the long mountain stages, that the Tour has once again crowned a rider / climber, this Vuelta is punchy with difficult mountain stages, new passes and above all a red jersey that will be able to being lost almost every day. The sprinters will still have a piece of the cake and can especially compete for the green jersey during the intermediate sprints, often placing in a favorable way for them. Each stage also includes a bonus sprint placed between 50 and 20 kilometers before the finish, either on an uncategorized climb, or mid-slope of the final ascent, or simply on the flat before the finish. These bonus sprints save 10, 6 and 4 seconds.

One of the stages finishes in Valverde's home town, as a way to honour him as he is a true Spanish godfather of cycling!
