The stage will be lumpy with a cat 3 climb just past the half way point and it should end in a sprint finish although the roads around Salamanca are exposed and it's suppose to be windy on Friday.

Tune in at 16:00 CET to see whether there is live video coverage as indicated by one source. See the race summary table (right) for the stage profile, map and timetable. — Steve

2012 Vuelta Ciclista Castilla y León Race Preview
April 13 update: Vuelta a Castilla y León (Tour of Castile and Leon) in Northern Spain, normally a 5-day stage race, is a three day stage race for 2012. Since of the five stages in previous years included an individual time trial, we've only lost one road stage which is the important thing. When the economy improves in Spain, I'm sure this race will bounce back. This year's race runs from Friday April 13th to Sunday April 15th.
The 2012 event will start off with a lumpy stage around Salamanca, followed by a hilly stage around Ávila featuring 4 cat 2 climbs. The race wraps up with a mountain stage based in Segovia. None of stages have uphill or summit finishes. This year's race will feature 20 teams but only four are ProTour teams compared to six last year: Movistar, Euskaltel-Euskadi, Rabobank and RadioShack. Rabobank's Luis Leon Sanchez, Movistar's Juan Jose Cobo, RadioShack's Andreas Kloden and Tiago Machado, Saur-Sojasun's Jerome Coppel, Cofidis' David Moncoutie, Endura Racing's Jonathan Tiernan-Lock and... Michael Rasmussen (Christina Watches-Onfone) are some of the well known names on the startlist. See the race summary table for all the stage profiles, maps and timetables.
