Vuelta 2011, Stage 12 Ponteareas to Pontevedra, 169km (2290m)

Transition and "break" stage between the mountain stages of Galicia. The teams with sprinters will have to work during the whole stage to control breaks and have their own specialists contest the sprint on the streets of Pontevedra. The two category 3 mountain passes, Moscoso and Ponte Caldeas, are the perfect setting for climbers looking to break in the first kilometres. This is the second time for both cities, Pontevedra and Ponteareas, on the route of the Tour of Spain. The first included a stage start in 1987 and the second, in 1980, a finish.by thunderthighs
