SS7 / SS10 El Priorat

General description:
The longest asphalt stage of the world championship. It starts with a descent, with continuous bends on impeccable pavement. Once in Lloar the road becomes narrow, slower, with very continuous bends that will mean hard work for the tyres. In km 11 the stage gets faster and from km 22 the descent has a varying width which is difficult to note down. As the finish is getting closer, the stage gets more complicated and becomes faster.
