The seventh stage, and the end of the first week. The riders are treated to the first proper mountain stage of La Vuelta, packing in a whole six category climbs and a summit finish just for good measure in just 152k. A chance for defending champion Primož Roglič to do well, this challenging terrain will see riders face climbs between 6.4%, and gradients up to 16% on the Balcón de Alicante. The last few hundred meters are a nice respite for riders after an excruciating climb, which could lead to a quick and fast paced victory where anything could happen.
