Vuelta a España Stage 16 LIVE

Luarca - Erbita de Alba.Quirós 185 km

Next to the Andorra stage the day that offers the most brutal course. Two Cat 3s, three Cat 2s, one Cat1 and one Especial(HC). And that last one is a nasty bit of work averaging somewhere between 10-11% for 7 kms, including some filthy ramps.

Herman's Hermit of the Day: Fabio Aru

Didn't look the best yesterday but today should really suit him best and he probably has the most incentive of all to take some time.
