Stage 11 of the Vuelta a Espana will have the peloton travel into Andalusia, with some flat and desert-like landscape hosting the peloton in the second day of the second week of the race, one that should be to the liking for the sprinters as it features little climbing.
The start takes place at El Pozo Alimentacion, and will see the peloton travel southwest near the coast of the Mediterranean. The route features some small hilltops, however nothing too big or meaningful in any way, with no categorized climb and a bonified intermediate sprint placed only 9.8Km away from the finish.
That will be by the sea near Cabo de Gata. The final 4 kilometers will be in a total straight line near the sea, in what will be the least technical finale one could imagine. That can be a good factor when it comes to safety, however the wind may play a big role as the road will be fully exposed.
CyclingUpToDate prediction:
**** Tim Merlier
*** Mads Pedersen, Kaden Groves
** Dan McLay, Pascal Ackermann, Bryan Coquard
* Danny van Poppel, Fabian Lienhard, Cedric Beullens, John Degenkolb
