    Talavera de la Reina - San Lorenzo de El Escorial

    Record breaking climbs

    The race’s second weekend brings two very different mountain stages. The first heads through the home region of 2008 Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre, taking in the cat 1 Mijares pass and two cat 2 hills, the San Bartolomé de Pinares and the Alto de Santa María. There’s one final climb to the line in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, the first time this has been used as a stage finish. That final cat 3 ascent features ramps of up to 28 per cent, which could be the steepest ever to feature in a grand tour. If the previous climbs haven’t split
    the CG contenders, these ramps surely will

    Fantastic by Roche again and so was Dan today, and Dan improved greatly from a similar finish on stage 5.

    Feared Roche made a mistake trying to follow Scarponi and Rodriguez when they attacked, but he only slipped 3 places from where he was once Rodriguez pounced, so good stuff.
