In that search of own identitywithout losing sight of the originalitythe organization of O Great Way hit the key for its second edition. And it is that the stage of this Fridaywhich is expected to be one of the most decisive for the general classification, will have a unprecedented finish in professional cycling: Monte Trega. A whole look towards the river Miño and Portugal, the place where the first settlers of Galicia arrived, which hides a small ‘trap’ that can give a lot of play and spectacle: a cobbled way of the cross about 250 meters that will lead to the last section of the ascent.
“This part of Ezequiel Mosquera (head of the organizing company) and all his team. Apart from carrying out a cycling race like this one also take care of promote all the pretty what we have in Galicia, in addition to betting on something different. It’s going to be the photo of the day, it’s a very special place and it’s not easy for a race to go through there,” he says. Óscar Pereiro to AS about how the idea came about to move the race to a point that was a matter of debate in the previous weeks, since the narrowing that occurs at the entrance to the cobblestone could cause difficulties due to the lack of width. The 2006 Tour de France champion clears up doubts: “There will be no problem because the race will arrive broken. I think that the leading group that will reach the paving will be, at most, six or seven riders. It is not the typical wide port and with an average of 5%”.
This being the case, who will enjoy the honor of inscribing their name on such a particular peak? “It is a spectacular finale, who has never climbed to a professional level. It’s explosive, because the port isn’t very long and it’s going to be decisive for the queen stage next Saturday. The paving of the Via Crucis, which begins about 600 meters from the finish line, will mark a lot. It will be a stage where we do not see huge differences, but whoever is not capable of being among the best will not be able to win the race. It will be won by a runner who aspires to conquer O Gran Camiño. TO vingegaard I don’t see him with the race or way of running pogacarbut seeing that today (for yesterday) bonused three seconds made it clear what was coming. If I have to get wet, I would say that win he Danish”, argued Pereiro regarding the team of favorites. Place your bets.
