2007 Tour of Spain - Stage 11 - Oropesa del Mar - Algemesi
After three consecutive gruelling tests, the Vuelta takes a breather on Tuesday 11 September, allowing the racers to travel from the peaks of Andorra to the beaches of Oropesa with peace of mind, knowing that they have a rest day ahead of them. On Wednesday 12, the competition picks up again with a 191 kilometre flat stage between Oropesa del Mar and Algemesi, a perfect day for the sprinter teams to take advantage of the opportunity again.
However, the cyclists must overcome two mountain challenges: the 3rd category climb at Marianet (km. 58) and the 2nd category climb at Chirivilla (km. 101). The final 90 kilometres present no challenges worth mentioning, which means the breakaway riders who saved their energy in the high mountain stages to try their luck heading to Algemesi, will have to fight very hard if they want to break away from the pack over those last kilometres.
Brief History: The city of Castellon has played host to numerous Vuelta stages, whilst Oropesa del Mar and Algemesi are both making their Vuelta debuts in 2007. The coastal city in the Castellon region will host the start of a stage for the first time, while the city in the Valencia region will also have cause to celebrate with a finish in this year's competition. - a 120 mi cycling route in Oropesa Del Mar, Spain
