Fantasy Cycling 2011 with Evans CyclesFantasy Cycling Vuelta Stage 7 Preview
There's an undulating profile today, but despite the race heading through the Sistema Central mountain range, no categorised climbs. That makes it an afternoon on which there is likely to be a series of attacks and potentially a breakaway making it all the way. But with two tough mountain stages to come over the weekend and an individual time trial on Monday, the sprinters will want to ensure a bunch finish on the fifth occasion a Vuelta stage has finished in Talavera de la Reina.
GT's tips
"With two big mountain stages and the individual time trial after today, the big GC guys probably won't want to particularly go for it today, but there are another 60 or 70 who will. There's a good chance that a breakaway will stay away, and there will be attacks right from the start. There's not too many sprinting opportunities, so the sprinters' teams might target today. But when the profile is up and down like this, it's hard for everybody, it's tough going. Anything could happen."

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
