stage seven...this was a stage i was actually gonna be in spain for and was planning on riding approx 45 miles total there and back to catch the finish.
unfortunately, family nonsense intervened so the spain trip got grounded into a regional southwestern us trip. this finish is one of those ridiculous spectacle

going with lopez altho higuita, nieve or pogacar came to mind as did conti but i can't go with conti ftw again just yet. maybe third week...
