The spring classics begin in April, and the 3 big stage races Giro d?Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a Espa?a take place in the summer. But there are pro races down here in Spain and in the south of France to help the teams prepare for the serious stuff. One of those races is the Round of the Valencia Region, a 5-day race around our region of Spain. On Saturday I went to the town of La Nucor, north of Benidorm, to have a look at the 4th stage of the race pass by. I picked a spot in a roundabout where they would be going uphill and starting a tough climb to a mountain pass. It was early in the stage, so the pack had not yet broken up completely, but there was already some suffering to be seen (the essence of our sport).
