Although Unipublic is doing everything possible to hide the route of the Tour 2012 to the date of its presentation, in the second week of January-are already beginning to filter some of the steps that will define and mark the race.
We said a few days ago that the race will start in Pamplona with a team time and, due to the success of this year and geographic proximity, will return to the Basque Country to reach the Bola del Mundo on its way to the finish in Madrid. Now we extend the information to ensure that one of his queens stage finish in Andorra, and more specifically in the Coll de la Gallina, a port for its difficulty unpublished marked differences among the favorites.
'The Periodic d'Andorra "realized a few days ago the new discovery of the Tour, which hits new peak on 25 August, in the eighth stage, so the first conclusion we can draw is that the race will take the clockwise to clockwise. Thus, it can hardly return to the North, then in 2012 may not be passed by Asturias and Galicia.
Focusing on the Coll de la Gallina, I must say that a port is unpublished, but well known and recommended cycling forums. Unfortunately, however, has some stretches of the last kilometers hardly passable, as are unpaved, and also in the top evacuation seems complicated, so Unipublic not want to take more risk than strictly necessary, installed the goal at the Shrine of Canòlich, after 7.5 km of ascent and four of the top, which may be left for another occasion
The gap means that brokers must pass be about 8.3%, although some ramps reach 18%. Before this final climb, moreover, will probably Ordino, so that the stage presents clearly interesting.
After Lakes, in 1983, El Morredero (1987), Xorret del Cati (1998), Angliru (1999), Aitana (2001), La Covatilla and La Pandera (2002), Calar Alto (2004), The Cobertoria (2006 ) Velefique (2009), and Ball Cotobello World (2010) and The Manzaneda and The Farrapona (2011), the Tour will discover the Coll de la Gallina in 2012.
