A transition day is what some may call it at the
Vuelta a Espana,
as stage 12 sees the riders head further and further into the southwest of
Spain. The route will mostly follow the Mediterranean coast as was the case
today, however the difference is that a summit finish has been placed.
193 kilometers on the menu, by no means a
short day, and one which will feature a difficult rolling start which may see
many suffer if the pace is high. There is little more to point out through the
day however, with the city of Malaga to be crossed halfway through the day, but
it will all be about the final climb.
