La Vuelta already has its first unpublished summit for the 2022 edition. It is the climb to Pico Jano, located in the Cantabrian Mountains, in a information that El Diario Montañés has advanced this Wednesday.
The Cantabrian media points out that, for this climb to take place, the last four kilometers of the climb will be paved, which right now are dirt roads, since the road does reach the Alsa reservoir, where the final section of the climb will begin.
Based on data collected across various Strava segments, lthe runners would start the ascent from Bárcena de Pie de Concha to the Alsa Reservoir, 7.6 kilometers at 7% with 530 meters of unevenness. From here, the section of asphalt to Pico Jano would begin, which should be asphalted and which would have a section of 3.4 kilometers at 6.4% in an ending that could include the final ramp to the Pico Jano antennas from the Mediajo Reservoir with a section of 800 meters at 13.5% to crown at about 1,289 meters above sea level.
In this way, La Vuelta repeats the end of the stage in Cantabria after the arrival to Santa Cruz de Bezana in 2021 and the Suances day in 2020, and again welcomes a high arrival after the climb to Los Machucos in 2019, in which the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar won.
