Preview stage 5. 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.
As always, the race reaches Lagunas de Neila. Wrapping up this year's edition once again, the final day of the Vuelta a Burgos is mostly flat but with the brutal summit finish. The 161-kilometer stage ends with the climb that features 7 kilometers at 8.7%, however the second half of the climb is considerably steeper and less constant.
Stage 5: Golmayo (Soria) - Lagunas de Neila, 161.1 kilometers
