Here you have the promotional video of the Andalucía Bike Race 2015:

This year the competition will alternate between long stages and shorter stages so as not to squeeze too much out of the participants, due to the hardness of the race. It will start in Jaén and the first stage will be very long (90 kilometers) and the participants will have to climb 3,200 meters, surrounding the Quibrajano reservoir. In the second stage the runners will ascend another 2,300 meters near El Neveral.

It will mean the greatest unevenness in the history of the competition for its participants: 420 kilometers of route and almost 14,000 meters of ascent in a total of six stages

The Andalucía Bike Race 2015 will end with a somewhat smoother stage and will reach Cerro Muriano after visiting its surroundings to finish descending to Santo Domingo, where the riders will find the last finish line. Between Neveral and this last stage, the participants will visit Jabalcuz, La Grana and La Mancha Real, when they leave Jaén and reach Córdoba. After that, and before reaching Cerro Muriano, they will travel through Sierra Morena for 90 kilometers.

We will keep you informed about this beautiful and exciting competition on the eve of its start.
