In 2020 is the Black Lagoon, by Soria, was premiered as a finale in La Vuelta. It is a 6.5 km climb with a gradient of 6.8%, with sections of 13% and 14%. It’ll be a one port day since the only climb will be the latter. A total of 163 km in one day where the runners start from Lerma.
After the great effort in the time trial of the favorites to the general, and with everything coming up this week (Tourmalet, Larrau, Larra-Belagua…), the day is ideal for a short break. The rest of the day is on flat terrain, paying attention to possible wind and the bonus sprint just before the start of the final climb. Kiss strives to defend the Reds… again.

On this occasion, with a more upward profile than on this occasion, barely they marked differences significant.
