Steep Basque Climbs Make For Intense Racing! | Vuelta A España 2022 Stage 4 Highlights

Clock00:00, Tuesday 23rd August 2022

The race enters Spain with a nasty-looking stage in the Basque Country. There may only be 2,500m of climbing on the menu, but a stepped climb in the last 15km followed by an uphill drag to the line is going to entice the puncheurs and GC contenders into action. Could we see an early reshuffling of the GC standings?
