Episode 12

The Vuelta returns to the Basque Country for a long day, covering 193.2km between the Cantabrian locality of Los Corrales de Buelna and the city of Bilbao. Including four mountain passes, the most notable being Alisas and the double pass through El Vivero. The final part is a 4.2km climb and an 8.5 per cent inclination just 13km from the finale at the Biscayan capital. There may well be a possible sprint to the finish-line following some escapes as happened in 2011. Presented by Gary Imlach with commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and Daniel Friebe the roving reporter.
