Vuelta a Espana 2005: Preview and Profile Stage 5

Wednesday, August 31st Stage 5: Alcazar de San Juan to Cuenca 176 Km

Continuing through the territory of Don Quixote , the stage offers diverse alternatives. A flat landscape will allow the powerful teams to control the race and at the same time the aggressive riders will try to spoil the day. The eyes of those who cannot afford to lose time at the finish line of Cuenca will have to be directed to the climb of Alto del Castillo, twelve kilometers from the finish. The steep slope of the Castillo and its cobblestones will give a special finishing touch to this stage.
