I am very sorry that I have
not been able to post to this blog much the last few days. I have a family
member in the hospital, and have not had the time to blog.
The Vuelta has been a great
fight in my opinion, and, as many suggested, it will be decided tomorrow on the
“Beast of Asturias”.

| Profiles of the final two climbs |
The Angliru climb is long
and steep. In some places it is brutally steep. With maxes over 23%, and an
average gradient of over 10%, the Angliru is over 12k of difficult climbing. it
hosts the final climb of the 2013 Vuelta a España, and should see some serious
fireworks among the overall contenders.
Can Chris Horner continue to
dominate the high mountain finishes and hold off Vincenzo Nibali, to take the
crown for the 2013 Vuelta a España?
Can Nicolas Edet get into
another break and seal the king of the mountains jersey?
Can Alejandro Valverde hold
off a charging Joaquim Rodriguez for the final podium spot?
Tune in on Saturday to find
out.
Sunday the race ends with a
short, mostly ceremonial sprint stage into Madrid. Which sprinters will survive
to contest the last bunch sprint of the race?
My pick for the stage-20 win: Chris Horner
