Welcome back to Lanchon Rouge Cycling podcast for our last Grand Tour mountain top finish of the year. |
| 0:58.1 | The stage 20 of Lavuelta, we're finishing on the Ball of the World. |
| 1:03.1 | Bola del Muno, we're in the Navarerara region, in the Extra Madura, |
| 1:09.1 | where on our way to Madrid we've come from the north, we have a hard mountain stage but this stage looks like a Tour de France stage. |
| 1:18.6 | And the Tour de France stage it most resembles to me is the Plateau de Bay stage with 165K so not as long but shorter climbs, some of which are steep, but punctuated by quite long valleys, particularly the valley before. They do the Puerto Navarerara. It's 7Ks 8%, 7% percent, big highway, descent, beautiful road surface, long valley again, half an hour in the valley, |
| 1:46.0 | and then they go up the same climb, turn right at the top and do the Bola del Mundo, which |
| 1:51.0 | is a Questa de Cabra, Luke Seppcu's favourite sort of road in Andorra in the off-season, |
| 1:57.0 | a goat track, and kind of like if you've done the Mount William add-on at the end, |
| 2:05.0 | if you're in Hall's Gap in Victoria, there's a brutal finish to the Mount William climb, |
| 2:09.5 | which I enjoyed a lot. It's 3Ks 12% brutal finish. How did you view this stage compared to the |
| 2:14.8 | others, Benji, that we've done? Well, I would say that there's more altitude meters than the Uniperto stages we've had, |
| 2:20.7 | so that plays a role, but it's also a stage where you really need to hammer down these valleys, |
| 2:26.2 | because you point at the plot to the base stage, and you're not necessarily talking about |
| 2:30.9 | the final clam there, you're talking about the fact that it's a stage with multiple clams throughout, one at the start, one in the middle, one at the end, |
| 2:38.0 | and large valleys in between. That's what you're pointing at. In comparison to a climb that |
| 2:43.8 | looks a lot like Bola del Mundo, which we've named a few times, is Poso Fedaya, which was in that |
| 2:49.2 | in the 2022 Giro di Talia where Hindley ended up |
