The second stage of the 110th Tour de France is also tough.
As at the start, five mountain classifications await on the 208.9 kilometer section from Vitoria-Gasteiz to San Sebastian.
The Jaizkibel as the last climb a good 16 kilometers before the finish, a mountain of the second category, should be familiar to the drivers from the Clásica San Sebastian, although it is climbed in the opposite direction.
On a length of eight kilometers, the average climb is 5.3 percent. Again, the classic car specialists are likely to be waiting for their chance.
