Vuelta 2025 Favourites stage 12: Attackers galore
foto: Cor VosThe riders face a 144.9-kilometre course with 2,993 metres of climbing in La Vuelta's 12th stage. Most of the climbing comes in three ascents, while the rest of the route is largely rolling terrain. All in all perfect for a successful breakaway. (Slideshow route/profile)
The three climbs en route are the Alto de Alisas (8.6 kilometres at 5.8%, summit at kilometre 41.4), Alto de Hijas (3.6 kilometres at 6.9%, uncategorised, summit at kilometre 98) and the Collada de Brenes (7 kilometres at 7.9%, summit at kilometre 122).
After cresting the Collada de Brenes, the riders descend for 9 kilometres before continuing over gently rolling terrain to the finish in Los Corrales del Buelna.
The route is too tough for the sprinters and not hard enough to trouble the GC contenders, leaving the door wide open for a successful breakaway.
