The organisers of La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es have revealed one of the toughest routes in its 12-year history with a double-header finale in Asturias that will showcase summit finishes atop Les Praeres. Nava and the famed Alto de l'Angliru.This year's race, which will take place from May 3 to May 9, will be held in Galicia. The 815km route will not include a time trial or team time trial, but will take the peloton through the area's notoriously lush, green terrain and relentless climbing, suitable for opportunists, breakaways and reduced-group finishes in what the organisers have called a 'balanced' parcours before reaching the final weekend.The peloton will compete across four hilly stages, one flat stage and two mountain stages.In an interview with Cyclingnews, Kiko García, the Vuelta's technical director, stated that pivotal moments of this year's route were intentionally saved for the final weekend of racing, where the peloton will take on Les Praeres on stage 6 and the fearsome L'Angliru on stage 7 in what will surely decide the winner of this year's Vuelta Femenina.
