Vuelta a España 2013 Stage 4 is between Lalín / a Estrada and Fisterra. The length of the course is 189 km. The stage is listed as Mountains with Summit Finish, but not so mountainous in fact. It ends with a short but steep uphill, like stage three, so it’s suitable to the puncheurs.
The fourth stage of the Vuelta will also feature a route commonly referred to as a “leg breaker”. The final part of the stage will again spike up although it won’t be challenging enough to result in significant changes in the classification. In theory, all leaders should be able to complete this stage without too much trouble. The stage will consist of 186 kilometers and will end at the finish line located in Fisterra “el Fin del Mundo” (The end of the Earth).
The peloton also climb the “Mirador de Ezaro” along the way.
Vuelta a España 2013 stage 3 is a flat stage between Vigo and Mirador de Lobeira. The length of the course is 184.8 km. The stage is listed as plain, but it ends with a short but steep uphill, so it’s suitable for the puncheurs.
Vuelta a España 2013 Stage 2 is a mountain stage with summit finish from Pontevedra to Alto da Groba. It is the first summit finish of this year’s Vuelta. The length of the course is 177.7 km.

SuperSix is the entry-level carbon road bike of American bicycle manufacturer Cannondale. There are 4 available Cannondale SuperSix 2013 builds.
SuperSix has the same frame design as Cannondale’s pro-level road bike SuperSix Evo: same hourglass seat stays, same BeatBox BB cluster. The only difference is a slightly different carbon layup, according to Cannondale. So with SuperSix, you can buy the grand-tour winner geometry of SuperSix Evo with less price.
