SS-6 – Pratdip – 26,480 kms.

General description:
Another classic stage of the Catalunya-Costa Daurada, which is going to be raced in both directions this year, like in 2006. SS6 will start from La Torre de Fontaubella and finish in Coll de Fatxes. The stage has three very different parts: from La Torre de Fontaubella to Colldejou reaching the summit of Coll Roig on new and even asphalt. After some 10 km the stage changes completely as regards pace and landscape. A 7-km road combining broken, very irregular asphalt with paved areas leads to Pratdip. Then, following the T-311 road with good surface, participants will climb up to Coll de Fatxes on a very technical section with constant pace changes.

ZP-1 is a spectator area with difficult access. It is located at the exit of La Torre de Fontaubella. The stage starts with a sequence of long bends with good visibility.
