A second full-on Pyrenean stage in as many days, starting with the fearsomely long, irregular Port de Cantó as an opening challenge and culminating in the ascent to Cerler. A regular feature in the 19990s Vueltas, Cerler is much tougher in the first half, but more than enough in in total to create some more significant GC gaps.
