Re: Vuelta a Espana 2018 (Cat. 1, deadline on 25/8)
MY VUELTA 2018: maps/tours/view/9225
Stage 1: Malaga > Malaga (TTT - 29,71 km)
The first stage of my Vuelta is a TTT, as usual in this race. The road are straight, a little sinuous in Malaga but not dangerous.
Stage 2: Malaga > Granada (Hilly - 172,73 km)
This stage is open for all types of riders. The breakaway has a real change here, sprinters too.
Stage 3: Granada > Roquetas de Mar (Plain - 179,14 km)
The Puerto de la Ragua, in the middle of stage, won't stop sprinters for their victory. This is a stage for sprinters but some riders will be already tired after this.
Stage 4: Almeria > Santiago de la Espeda (H-Mountain - 219,73 km)
First mountain stage of this vuelta, with the Calar Alto just after start, which will make a breakaway. This stage is very interesting with the last 2 climbs.
Stage 5: Almaciles > Alicante (Plain - 218,31 km)
This stage finishes with the climb of Castell Santa Barbara, but this isn't difficult so sprinters will surely take the victory.
Stage 6: Alicante > La Vall d'Uixo (Plain - 250,26)
Longest stage of this vuelta, near to Mediterranean Sea all the day, so wind will be maybe at the party. It finishes with a little climb of less than 1km at 3 % so not dangerous for sprinters.
Stage 7: La Vall d'Uixo > Orpesa (ITT - 50,40 km)
Flat ITT, climbers will lose time on that one, but for sure they will have opportunities to get back that time.
Stage 8: Tortosa > Serra de l'Aragall (Hilly - 202,03 km)
Stage for punchers, last climb is very difficult, above 10 % average.
Stage 9: Barcelona > Figueras (Plain - 214,01 km)
This stage is surely for sprinters but we should take care of punchers with the last climb. It's not very difficult but some riders can attack.
Stage 10: Figueras > La Molina (H-Mountain - 133,72 km)
Interesting stage, there won't be big gaps but some failures can appear because of High Altitude.
Stage 11: Alp > Estacio d'Esqui Tuixent - La Vansa (H-Mountain - 187,40 km)
La Vansa is less known than Port Del Comte, but is much difficult.
Stage 12: La Seu d'Urgell > Superbagnères - Pic d'Aspe (H-Mountain - 171,96 km)
Only passage in a foreign country, with 26 km in France, to finish on the not enough known climb Superbagnères.
Stage 13: Benasque > Formigal (H-Mountain - 158,60 km)
Hard stage with the very dangerous climb of Puerto de Fanlo, with very small roads, riders should be very careful.
Stage 14: Etxauri > Puenta la Reina (ITT - 36,39 km)
Hilly and downhill ITT. The last downhill is really rapid so riders have to be careful.
Stage 15: Pamplona > Zarautz (M-Mountain - 171,17 km)
This stage is using very interesting climbs, which are not very difficult but can still make gaps. Downhills can be dangerous.
Stage 16: Zarautz > Burgos (Plain - 223,36 km)
Stage for sprinters.
Stage 17: Najéra > Alto Campoo - Mirador Fuente del Chivo (H-Mountain - 216,79 km)
Only one climb in this stage, at the end.
Stage 18: Reinosa > Posada de Valdéon (H-Mountain - 211,23 km)
The San Glorio is very difficult and can make gaps.
Stage 19: Leon > Medina del Campo (Plain - 173,97 km)
No difficulty.
Stage 20: Medina del Campo > Rascafria (H-Mountain - 220,72 km)
Last mountain stage , last opportunity for climbers to gain time.
Stage 21: Mostoles > Madrid (Plain - 111,11 km)
The riders with the red jersey can enjoy his victory. This is already finished!!

Re: Vuelta a Espana 2018 (Cat. 1, deadline on 25/8)
This is my second version of the Vuelta a España and, therefore, the definitive one. My route is very varied, it has seven flat endings for the massive sprinters, five stages of medium mountain with steep climbs of 2 category, six stages of high mountain, only two of them finished in a long climb (ESP) and, to compensate, three time trials, two individuals, one of 53km flat and one of 34 km with mountains, and one team time trial in Málaga with 23 km.

What do you mean with a mountain top finish? A ESP or 1 finish or any climb on the finish line?

Re: Vuelta a Espana 2018 (Cat. 1, deadline on 25/8)
My second route of the Vuelta a España.
maps/tours/view/9558
In this route I wanted to visit some areas forgotten by Vuelta a España. Visit the province of Huelva or the Community of Extremadura, where arrivals have been made on rare occasions. Take advantage of the Sierra de Cazorla, where only tiptoes have been reached on occasion. The Sierra de Urbión, Sierra Norte de Sevilla or the Sierra de la Cabrera, practically unprecedented areas and make a small incursion into the Picos de Europa.
The tour meets the following points:
- Start in Málaga
- The second stage start in Málaga.
- The first three stages in Andalucía
- Several mountain stages that exceed 200 kms.
- Several mountain stages with more than 2 and 3 ports of 1st or special and without finishing high.
- More than 50 kms ITT flat.
- You do not leave Spain.
- There are no endings in "muritos".
- No finals or key parts of the 2017 race are repeated.
The race has:
- 2 rest days after stages 9 and 15.
- 19 kms TTT of the first stage
- 83 kms ITT divided between stages 7 and 16.
- 5 flat stages (2, 5, 10, 13 and 21)
- 7 medium mountain or accidented stages (3, 4, 6, 14, 15, 17 and 18)
- 6 high mountain stages ( 8, 9, 11, 12, 19 and 20)
- 60 GPM
- 3 Especiales
- 13 of 1st category
- 20 of 2nd category

Re: Vuelta a Espana 2018 (Cat. 1, deadline on 25/8)
Minimum two high mountain stages without a Mountain Top Finish
Questo vuol dire che ci devono essere due tappe di montagna senza arrivo in salita?

Re: Vuelta a Espana 2018 (Cat. 1, deadline on 25/8)
This is my Vuelta a España
To highlight the two new walls, one in Euskadi and the other in Castellón, the mountain stages, unpublished in the Vuelta a España except in the case of Andorra and the penultimate stage, a half- mountain day that presents a novelty to editions previous, in which it was a stage of high mountain. This gives possibilities to riders who are not so climbers but who can pass the mountain well, as is the case of Dumoulin.

Re: Vuelta a Espana 2018 (Cat. 1, deadline on 25/8)
This is my proposal for the Vuelta a España 2018.
maps/tours/view/9371
The two rest days are placed as following:
- From Stage 9 to Stage 10 (Jaraiz de la Vera - Oviedo)
- From Stage 15 to Stage 16 (Pamplona - Zaragoza)
Conditions of the contest:
- Start from Malaga and the first 3 stages entirely in Andalucia with Malaga hosting start and finish of Stage 1 and start of stage 2.
- End in Madrid.
- Cannot repeat finals or key parts of stages of 2017 real race.
- Maximum two stages with finishes on "Muritos" (less than 3 Km climbs with >8% average). Only stage 5 finishes that kind.
- Minimum 50 Km flat ITT, balanced with the proper amount of mountains. Stage 16 is a 54 km ITT
- Minimum two high mountain stages over 200 Km. Stages 11 and 19
- Minimum two high mountain stages without a Mountain Top Finish. Stages 10, 11 and 19.
- Minimum one high mountain stages with at least two more climbs 1Cat or ESP in sequence. Stages 12 and 18.
- Minimum one high mountain stages with at least three more climbs 1Cat or ESP in sequence. Stages 10 and 19.
- You can go out of Spain only one time and only for a part of one stage that must not exceed the 50% of the stage in lenght. The route doesn't leave Spain.
Brief description of the route:
As this Vuelta had to start in Malaga, it made so difficult to introduce mountain stages in Andalusia since they will be placed very early in the route. So, the main decision of the general strcuture was to place the mountain blocks in the Cantabrian mountain range and the Pyrenees as the largest mountain ranges far from Andalusia. Then, the main mountain stages are those of Cantabrian mountains (stages 10, 11 and 12, Asturias and Cantabria), and the Pyrenees stages (17, 18 and 19). The first week, however, leaves early the Andalusian coast, very mountainous, and goes to Central and Western Andalusia, completely plain, to host the first-week-type stages. Later, the route heads to Sierra Morena and Extremadura, a hilly region, perfect for medium mountain stages. Finally, the major novelty of this Vuelta are the two last stages: two hilly circuits around Barcelona and Madrid, which will keep the race open until the very end. TT is really important in this Vuelta, since there are two of them over 50 km, the TTT of Extremadura, which might make huge gaps, and the relevant ITT of Zaragoza. This will force climbers to attack earlier in mountain stages very proper for this, long and with various climbs linked.

STAGE BY STAGE DESCRIPTION AND PROFILES
Firs stage of my Vuelta. TTT with a hill finish in Mirador de Gibralfaro (1,3 at 6,7%). First differences between the main contenders could be stablished. maps/viewtrack/232164
Second stage and first chance for sprinters. This stage was designed in honour to the civil victims of fascism in Spain. Thousand of civils tried to leave Malaga in the way to Almería. Then spanish fascist warships Canarias and almirante Cervera killed over 5000 inocent people.
maps/viewtrack/232103
Third stage Vuelta Contest. Hilly terrain before the finish. The last one a “murito”, at 14 km from the finish .Uncertaintily over a sprint finish. Ideal stage for Matteo Trentin or Peter Sagan
maps/viewtrack/232104
Fourth stage Vuelta contest. Only one categpryzed climb, but a difficoult end. Three hills from -25km to -10km and 600m at 5% just before last km. Massive sprint is probable, but not clear at all.
maps/viewtrack/231433
Fifth stage of Vuelta contest. Murito ending in Castillo de Alcocer. Aproximately 2 kms at 10%. Ideal stage for Alaphilippe or Valverde. No siesta allowed. Amazing sights from helicopter as we can see in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbJe2w34lxc
maps/viewtrack/231436
Sixth stage of Vuelta Contest. Some hills at the begining but onde of the few clear chances for sprint.
maps/viewtrack/231444
Seventh stage of Vuelta contest. First High mountain stage. No flat in last 100 kms. Double pass by Abantos, a hard climb that always sets differences. Narrow roads and The end in Navas del Marqués has 4.7 kms at 3,7%. Someone could lost the race.
Abantos 2007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVNh99ulVJM
Abantos profile: http://www.altimetrias.net/aspbk/verPuerto.asp?id=282
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/232108
Eighth stage of Vuelta contest. Another high mountain day. More tan 200 kms in Madrid mountains and almost 5000 meters denivel.

Stage profile: maps/viewtrack/229512
Ninth stage: first of the two ITT. 35 km of flat ITT. Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/226920
Tenth stage of Vuelta contest. The stage that comes after a rest day is always dangerous. This is the same stage as when Valverde lost his Vuelta options in 2008. The downhill of Lunada and Caracol are very technical. Lunada is one of the rainiest zones of Spain. Then uphill finish in Suances
Lunada http://www.altimetrias.net/aspbk/verPuerto.asp?id=184
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/239110
Eleventh stage of Vuelta contest. Other Chance for sprinters in a Natural Park. Transition day before the weekend mountains.
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/234365
Twelfth stage. Hilly terrain of basque country will be present. No flat terrain in almost all the stage. More tan 3500 +denivel. Riders will pass trough San Pelaio twice by the same side as last Itzulia. 22% gradient next to the sea. Narrow roads in this hill will playa an important role because of the collocation. Last kilometer has a 5% average gradient in Bermeo streets.
San Pelaio http://www.altimetrias.net/aspbk/verPer ... asp?id=948
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/232039
Thirteenth stage. Medium mountain before the last climb. Hard climb to San Miguel de Aralar (12km 8%). Short stage because of the transalation to Arnegui
Aralar: http://www.altimetrias.net/aspbk/verPuerto.asp?id=91
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/232042
Fourteenth stage. First Queen stage and one of the hardest stage ever seen in La Vuelta. Close to 200 km and 6000m +denivel in the Basque Country Pyrenees in narrow roads with technical but not too dangerous downhills. Anti-Sky stage. No time to organise the team in the last 100km. The average gradient of the climbs is not exagerated, but there are some flat or downhills. In Inharpu, Larrau or Bagargi uphill gradients are constant at 10%. The central 7 kilometers of second climb to Larrau is over 10%.

Larrau2: http://www.altimetrias.net/aspbk/verPuertoF.asp?id=2
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/239081
Fifteenth stage. Flat and transition day to Logroño before the travel to Galicia. Logroño has an airport closet he the finish line of the stage so translation to Vigo wil be easy. Probable chance for sprinters, but the hills of the first part and the day before will play an important role.
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/231906
Sixteenth stage. Very hard ITT after rest day. Irregular climb to Vigozoo with 10% gradients and very tricky descent. Probable front wind in the remaining stage.
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/232122
Seventeenth stage. 110 km explosive stage in Serra do Barbanza. The autor of this route lives in the zone so I visited every climb and road of the stage. Tricky descents, no flat and irregular climbs but with hard zones. After a rest day and a Hard ITT –that for much riders supposed a double rest day- can make this stage a mad one. The first Iroite pass has 700m with 21% average gradient and 25% in 100m lapse. Second Iroite pass also has 20% gradients

Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/227750
Eighteenth stage. Transition day in the way to Ancares mountains. Similar as Pau stage in Tour de France. Not categoryzed climbs, but the uphill finish (600m 7%) and the ambition of the breakaway will probably avoid the massive sprint.
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/232143
Nineteenth stage. Queen stage of this Vuelta. Close similar to dolomite stages of giro. If Larrau was hard, this is even worse. ¡¡7000m +Denivel!! on Ancares. The most similar stage could be Val di Fassa 2011. Cruz de cespedosa is the same climb as Pandozarco. There, the race will be broken with almost 30 km to the end. Key stage of this Vuelta. IMPORTANT: THE 2 km that weren´t pavimented OF PELLICEIRA HAVE BEEN ASPHALTED in 2016 and Diputación de Lugo wants to imrpove it http://escalandomasquepedaleando.blogsp ... tural.html // https://www.elprogreso.es/articulo/coma ... 29233.html

Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/232099
Twentieth stage. Short and explosive, with Fonte da Cova that can be considered as the galician Telegraphe+Galibier. Final climb in Llano de las Ovejas, next to Morredero. 6 final kilometers have an 9% average gradient.

Ninth stage: first of the two ITT. 35 km of flat ITT. Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/226920
Tenth stage of Vuelta contest. The stage that comes after a rest day is always dangerous. This is the same stage as when Valverde lost his Vuelta options in 2008. The downhill of Lunada and Caracol are very technical. Lunada is one of the rainiest zones of Spain. Then uphill finish in Suances

Eleventh stage of Vuelta contest. Other Chance for sprinters in a Natural Park. Transition day before the weekend mountains.
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/234365
Twelfth stage. Hilly terrain of basque country will be present. No flat terrain in almost all the stage. More tan 3500 +denivel. Riders will pass trough San Pelaio twice by the same side as last Itzulia. 22% gradient next to the sea. Narrow roads in this hill will playa an important role because of the collocation. Last kilometer has a 5% average gradient in Bermeo streets.

Thirteenth stage. Medium mountain before the last climb. Hard climb to San Miguel de Aralar (12km 8%). Short stage because of the transalation to Arnegui

Fourteenth stage. First Queen stage and one of the hardest stage ever seen in La Vuelta. Close to 200 km and 6000m +denivel in the Basque Country Pyrenees in narrow roads with technical but not too dangerous downhills. Anti-Sky stage. No time to organise the team in the last 100km. The average gradient of the climbs is not exagerated, but there are some flat or downhills. In Inharpu, Larrau or Bagargi uphill gradients are constant at 10%. The central 7 kilometers of second climb to Larrau is over 10%.

Fifteenth stage. Flat and transition day to Logroño before the travel to Galicia. Logroño has an airport closet he the finish line of the stage so translation to Vigo wil be easy. Probable chance for sprinters, but the hills of the first part and the day before will play an important role.
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/231906
Sixteenth stage. Very hard ITT after rest day. Irregular climb to Vigozoo with 10% gradients and very tricky descent. Probable front wind in the remaining stage.
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/232122
Seventeenth stage. 110 km explosive stage in Serra do Barbanza. The autor of this route lives in the zone so I visited every climb and road of the stage. Tricky descents, no flat and irregular climbs but with hard zones. After a rest day and a Hard ITT –that for much riders supposed a double rest day- can make this stage a mad one. The first Iroite pass has 700m with 21% average gradient and 25% in 100m lapse. Second Iroite pass also has 20% gradients

Eighteenth stage. Transition day in the way to Ancares mountains. Similar as Pau stage in Tour de France. Not categoryzed climbs, but the uphill finish (600m 7%) and the ambition of the breakaway will probably avoid the massive sprint.
Stage Profile: maps/viewtrack/232143
Nineteenth stage. Queen stage of this Vuelta. Close similar to dolomite stages of giro. If Larrau was hard, this is even worse. ¡¡7000m +Denivel!! on Ancares. The most similar stage could be Val di Fassa 2011. Cruz de cespedosa is the same climb as Pandozarco. There, the race will be broken with almost 30 km to the end. Key stage of this Vuelta. IMPORTANT: THE 2 km that weren´t pavimented OF PELLICEIRA HAVE BEEN ASPHALTED in 2016 and Diputación de Lugo wants to imrpove it http://escalandomasquepedaleando.blogsp ... tural.html // https://www.elprogreso.es/articulo/coma ... 29233.html

Twentieth stage. Short and explosive, with Fonte da Cova that can be considered as the galician Telegraphe+Galibier. Final climb in Llano de las Ovejas, next to Morredero. 6 final kilometers have an 9% average gradient.
