Race description AI translated from Spanish, might contain errors
The weekend of racing in northern Spain —itself the start of a long block of races on the road to La Vuelta— is rounded off by a Clásica Castilla y León whose route will be far more interesting than in previous years, suited to good climbers.
The setting, from the banks of the river Esla to untamed Sanabria, is the province of Zamora, which only a few days ago hosted one of the regular summer stage races of Spanish amateur cycling, organised by Cadalsa, the company of former RFEC president José Luis López Cerrón, which is also responsible for this professional event.
There will be five categorised climbs in the final 80 km, without a single flat metre. Padornelo (cat. 2), A Canda (cat. 3), Castromil (cat. 3) and Castrelos (cat. 3) lead the race to the finish in Lubián (cat. 3), with a final kilometre at 8%.
