PREVIEW | La Vuelta Femenina 2024 stage 8 - Demi Vollering's race to lose at mountainous queen stage

From April 28th to May 5th, the women's peloton will embark on its first Grand Tour of the season, La Vuelta Femenina. Spanning eight stages with opportunities tailored for various rider profiles, this event is set to be a highlight of the season. Let's preview the upcoming stage.

The final and queen stage of the race! Organizers decided to make it an extra small stage which removes difficulties, but nevertheless the riders will make the spectacle in the day's second half.

The riders find two ascents on the day. The first is the Puerto de Morcuera. 13.2 kilometers at 6.3%; and then right before the finale in Valdesqui the climb to the Puerto de Cotos which is 10 kilometers long at 5.8%. The race will ultimately be decided here.

*** Demi Vollering, Evita Muzic
** Elisa Longo Borghini, Riejanne Markus
* Yara Kastelijn, Niamh Fisher-Black, Juliette Labous, Ricarda Bauernefeind, Pauliena Rooijakkers
