Saturday, August 27th - Stage 8 181.5km
Villalpando to La Camperona. Valle de Sabero
Misleading stage with a 95% flat route but, after Cistierna, we come across one of the slopes that has made the most impact in the entire history of the Vuelta: La Camperona, climbed for the first and only time in 2014.
The route is difficult enough to make the favourite riders have to give it their all. Its purity, the suffering of the riders and the proximity of the fans all make the Camperona a special place. A truly spectacular stage that, with wind, could be a deciding one.
