If you saw the Vuelta highlights last night you will have seen the harsh finish straight that went up at about 24%. Not a nice finish and poor David Moncutier (spelling?) got swept up by the attacking climbers after trying to defend a 35 second lead over the final 10km. I know how he felt. On the Lavenham road from Acton Lane there is the initial kick up which you power into from the previous descent as you turn into the road followed by a short downhill, which for some reason I cannot find any speed from, then you're into a right - left double bend and onto a short climb which is easily 24% and over only 50 to 100m your speed plummets from the 20s to 11 (or 9 if your legs don't have it). That they climb something 10 times as long is awesome in itself. I won't moan about that corner again!!
514.61 to go!!!!
