Preview stage 3. From the 15th to 19th of August the peloton takes on the
Vuelta a Burgos. One of the many Spanish races at this time of the year and perhaps the most important preparation race ahead of the Vuelta a Espana.
Stage 3 of the race is a tricky but very difficult one. The arrival into Villarcayo is not too difficult but the first section of the day features several explosive ascents, and the day is headlined by the climb to Picón Blanco which is 7.8 kilometers at 9%, is a regular on this race and a climb where serious differences can be made.
