    Me like.

    Though seems odd seeing a vuelta stage with more than one climb in it.

    Loads of stages with a short steep ramp as finish, some mountain stages and some hilly stages, with hardly any TT kms. Not much new - typical contemporary Vuelta. Although, just when the Tour de France seems to go crazy with super short stages, the Vuelta seems to go the other direcion again; only one stage under 150 km.

    Actually a lot less this year than the previous 3 editions. Which is by all means a good thing.
