Euskaraz irakurri: Espainiako Vueltako 15. stageren profila eta ibilbidea: Iruñea – Lekunberri (158.5 km)

The Back to Spain will be developed entirely on Navarrese roads during the 15th stage which will be held this Sunday, September 10. Starting from Pamplona and ending in Lekunberrithe platoon must overcome one port of 3rd category and two of 2nd along 156 kilometers of route, which outlines a medium mountain stage favorable for the interests of a getaway to succeed.

After a fairly undulating start, the first important test for the cyclists will come halfway through the route (kilometer 76) with the port of Lizarraga (3rd category, 19.3 kilometers of ascent at 2.6%). After a descent of about 10 kilometers and a flat section of another 20, the runners will reach the foothills of Zuarrarrate, second mountainous difficulty of the day, which, in addition, they will have to ascend twice. Zuarrarrate It involves an ascent of 7.3 kilometers in length, at an average slope of 4.8%.

Once the second step over the top has been made, there will only be 8 kilometers left until the finish line, the vast majority of them downhill, so, whether from the breakaway, or from the pack of favorites, some brave man could take advantage of that circumstance to appear prominently on the streets of Lekunberri.
