The Vuelta a España, one of the most prominent cycling events on the sports calendar, is preparing to open the curtain on its decisive week with stage 16, a day that promises strong emotions and unforgettable moments.
This Tuesday, September 12, after a well-deserved day of rest, the cyclists return to the road with a short but crucial stage. The route of this 16th stage will take cyclists from the picturesque surroundings of Liencres Playa to Bejes. With a total distance of 120.5 kilometers, this stage is characterized by being intense, inviting runners to give their best from the beginning.
The profile of the stage is especially notable in the last 5 kilometers, where runners will face the challenging climb to Bejes. Despite its relatively short length, this second category climb, which has an average gradient close to 10%, promises to shake up the general classification. Runners will have to use all their skill and endurance to overcome ramps that in some sections reach 14%, a challenge that will test even the most experienced.
According to experts, a vibrant and tension-filled finale is expected, where runners will exhibit their explosiveness and skill in a battle to reach the finish line in an advantageous position. This final stretch will not only determine the winner of the stage, but could also begin to define the positions in the general classification.
The day will begin at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday, September 12 and fans will be able to follow each pedal stroke and race strategy through RTVE and Eurosport and can also be followed live through the La Vanguardia website.
