Andorra Morabanc Clàssica

The second edition of the Andorra Morabanc Clàssica, a race co-organised by Carlos Verona, who also serves as a distinguished ambassador for the Principality, hopes to avoid the weather troubles that marked its debut and offers another gorgeous and brutally hard route, packing 4,000 metres of climbing into barely 125 km.

After the ascents of Envalira - endless, more than 30 km of steady climbing to over 2,400 metres of altitude - and Ordino (2nd), comes the big new addition: Les Pardines (2nd), whose summit is followed by a 3.4-kilometre gravel road before the final descent and the finish at La Botella (1st), more than 12 km at 6.7%.
