la Vuelta '15 #16 Luarca/Ermita de Alba. Quirós **SPOILERS**
Luarca / Ermita de Alba. Quirós
The last of the lumpy stages before the rest day and the individual time trial. Starts up on the magnificent northern coastline and works inland.
It's a tough stage with regular climbs and a malicious mtf
The last climb seems an ok steady gradient till you do the maths and realize it is steady at about 10pct

There is so much more racing to go - I would love to see old Frank Schleck put off on a mad solo over two mountains; just not sure that will ever happen.
The breakaway are a few km from the foot of the Cat 1
