A new stage looked forward too for La Vuelta a España’s 75th Anniversary Celebration. The next to the last stage of the 2010 Vuelta is not going to leave anyone indifferent. A first-rate event is assured.

Starting out from San Martín de Valdeiglesias, the first climb to be overcome will be the Cruz Verde Pass, which will be the simplest of the day. As of this point, everything gets tough. First, the “Alto del León” and then the Navacerrada Pass. But, this time, Navacerrada will not be the finish line. The race will descend again to the town of Guadarrama to then make its way back up to end at the “Alto de la Guarramillas, better known as the “Bola del Mundo”. This new ascent is a continuation of the Navacerrada Pass. Three kilometers more, with up to 12.5% gradients promising to become a quite a milestone in the history of La Vuelta a España.
