2010 Vuelta a Espana: Rincón de Soto Burgos, 196.0 km
Rincón de Soto is a famous place in La Rioja because of its pears, which have been promoted along many years help to the Vuelta a España. But in 2010 it will be the city itself the leading part due to the start of the 13th stage , a day that will bring the riders until Burgos and that can be considered as “leggbreaker” with its 196 km.
Friday 10th September the riders must climb up to the mountain passes of Pradilla and Valmala, both situatedin the last 60 kilometres. There are no big difficulties, but the constant up and down will surely encourage the adventurers and will make doubt the minds of the sprinters´ teams. This stage will finally be a beautiful duel between the ones who need to go on a spree and the ones that need that this day journey ends in a massive sprint. Because up this day begins the particular “via crucis” for the sprinters, so that it would be very strange that they leave to pass this opportunity.
