Monday, August 29th - Stage 10 188.7km
Lugones to Lagos de Covadonga
We return to one of the most legendary climbs of the Vuelta two years later. The climb up the Lagos de Covadonga never goes unnoticed in the race and, in this occasion, it could well make big differences to the general classification. The first part is a pleasant ride through the Asturian coast, departing from Lugones, that will become much less relaxed as we arrive at Fito Peak, a 6.2km climb with an inclination of 7.8%, 40 kilometres from the finish-line. After this, the main attraction will be the spectacular climb up the Lagos de Covadonga, one of the most iconic Vuelta climbs with a route of 12.2km and an inclination of 7.2%, including the famous La Huesera stretch, with a slope of 13%. If the weather is good, this stage could provide some spectacular images. Asturias, always a natural paradise...
