Episode 6

A mid-mountain stage, between Monforte de Lemos and Luintra, in the Ribeira Sacra, crossing the spectacular canyons of the Sil River. The last 70 kilometres will be very windy, in a succession of climbs and descents all the way to the finish-line. In the final part of the stage, the peloton will come face to face with the Alto de Alenza, a second category climb, that will not necessarily make much of a difference to the general classification, but it may well break the group up, and prevent a mass arrival at the end. Presented by Gary Imlach with commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and Daniel Friebe the roving reporter.
