Episode 14

Except for the first few kilometres, today's entire route will take place on French soil. There are four mountain passes in the last 130km - the tough and unprecedented category one Col Inharpu, the Col de Soudet, the Marie Blanque with four final kilometres at an inclination of 11.5 per cent, and finally, the climb up the unprecedented Aubisque, a special category climb. This is a Tour classic that is almost 17km long with an average inclination of 7 per cent. In total, around 4800m of accumulated slopes, making this one of the most demanding stages of the Vuelta. Presented by Gary Imlach with commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and Daniel Friebe the roving reporter.
