Fuente del Chivo is an 18 kilometres climb at 5.5%. But that’s merely an average number, actually saying nothing as the first kilometres are at 1.2% to 3,5% grades, while the last kilometres go up at 8.9%. After his second place in the Giro Fabio Aru is super-ambitious to do better in La Vuelta, which he underlined by taking the red jersey in Andorra’s Queen Stage on wednesday. Landa won that race, while ‘Purito’ Rodríguez climbed to second place overall.
Last year, Aru won two stages in Spain.
