Veteran Canadian climber Michael Woods has more than his fair share of experience in brutally tough mountain racing, but he warns that Saturday's stage 6 of the Volta a Catalunya, which includes the unprecedented ascent of the ultra-difficult Coll de Pradell, "could potentially be one of the toughest stages I’ve ever seen."
Featuring some unremittingly steep ascents in its final 5km, the Coll de Pradell is 60km from the first-category summit finish in Queralt, with another first-category climb, the Collada de Sant Isidre, coming between the two.
