Vuelta 2015 Favourites stage 11: Wanted - climbers for Andorra's Queen Stage
Six climbs in 138 kilometres, so that's a two-dimensinival story, either dropping or climbing. The finish is after a 15 kilometers climb at 6.8% at the highest peak of the Vuelta 2015, Alto Els Cortals d’Encamp in Andorra. This Queen Stage is looking for top-favourites! (Slideshow route/profile)
With stage 11 the tough second week of La Vuelta opens. Expect the GC men to raise hell, if only as a show of strength. By winning the Queen Stage you show who is boss.
Big question today: Can leader Tom Dumoulin stand the heat? Is he going to surprise us once more, or will we have a new man in red at Cortals d'Encamp?
*** Chris Froome, Nairo Quintana, Fabio Aru
** Joaquim Rodríguez, Alejandro Valverde, Rafal Majka
* Mikel Landa, Domenico Pozzovivo, Kenny Elissonde
