In January and February the cycling season in Belgium, the Netherlands and
northern France has not yet started. The spring classics begin in April, and
the 3 big stage races Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España take
place in the summer. But there are pro races down here in Spain and in the
south of France to help the teams prepare for the serious stuff. One of those
races is the Round of the Valencia Region, a 5-day race around our region of
Spain. On Saturday I went to the town of La Nucor, north of Benidorm, to have a
look at the 4th stage of the race pass by. I picked a spot in a roundabout
where they would be going uphill and starting a tough climb to a mountain pass.
It was early in the stage, so the pack had not yet broken up completely, but
there was already some suffering to be seen (the essence of our sport). A small
gallery can be seen here:
