2007 Tour of Spain - Stage 5 - Cangas de Onis to Reinosa
The second mountain stage of the Vuelta will begin on Wednesday, 5 September. It won't be a mountain finish, but first and second category climbs won't be in short supply, either. The cyclists will race from Cangos de OniÂs to Reinosa over a 157-kilometre route with four major climbs.
Collado de Hoz, Collada de Ozalba y Collada de Carmona, all 2nd category climbs, will separate the riders within the pack significantly, but the spectacular close will come at Puerto de Palombera, a 1st category climb located only 18 kilometres from the finish. The sprinters will have to save their strength and wait for days better suited to their abilities, whilst the climbers can risk striking out a long way from the finish, because it won't be easy for any team to take control of the race.
Brief History: A stage virtually identical to the one in the 2007 event was won by Thurau in 1976. Cangas de OniÂs has been the starting point for a Vuelta stage 19 times, whilst Reinosa has hosted six finishes, the last one in 1982 when Antonio Coll won. - a 97.6 mi cycling route in Cangas De Oniâs, Spain
