Vuelta 2011, Stage 07 Almadén to Talavera de la Reina, 188km (2120m)

Another unprecedented start, this time in the Castilla-La Mancha town of Almadén, which will mark the first mountain weekend of the race in Spain's Sistema Central. The stage, which does not have a categorized climb but is still a real leg-breaker, will favour the rouleurs and the brave looking for a breakaway. Talavera de la Reina will host a stage finish for the fifth time on a good day for living in this Toledo town, particularly if the teams with specialists decide to show off in a sprint finish.by thunderthighs
