Fantasy Cycling 2011 with Evans CyclesFantasy Cycling Vuelta Stage 9 Preview
This is the fourth time the Vuelta has featured the 1,970-metre summit of La Covatilla, with the finish coming after 10 kilometres of climbing at an average gradient of more than 7 per cent. Riders with aspirations of a high place on the GC will be on their toes today – as the saying goes, this isn't one of those stages where the race is won, but it’s certainly one where it can be lost.
GT's tips
"It's pretty high up at nearly 2,000 metres so altitude will definitely be a factor, it could affect some of the guys. From what we've seen in the Tour, the racing seems to be a lot closer this year, and if it's a similar thing in the Vuelta there could be six or seven riders who mark each other out, unless someone has a go early on. But for sure it's another GC day, it's definitely hard enough to make a difference."

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.
