Vuelta a Espana 2005: Preview and Profile Stage 18

Thursday, September 15th Stage 18: Avila-Avila 197.5 Km

The storied walls of Avila will be a leading figure at a start full of tension and set up a very emotional finish. Almost two hundred kilometers and a lot of difficulties. The climbs of La Paramera, Mijares, Pedro Bernardo, Serranillos and Navalmoral are authentic obstacles for the tired peloton and are key places to fight for the victory. In a stage like this, one moment of carelessness may result in the loss of a podium place in Madrid .
