From Pola de Lena I cycled up this climb towards Gamoniteiro. The constant steep percentages and wide track make for a false sense of stagnation. This climb is consequently a hard one, but gives nice pictures along the way. Towards the top the percentages fortunately drop and we can speed up a bit.
Vanuit Pola de Lena deze klim naar boven gefietst richting Gamoniteiro. De constante steile percentages en brede baan zorgen voor een vals gevoel van stilstaan. Deze klim is bijgevolg harken, maar levert onderweg wel fraaie plaatjes op. Naar de top toe zakken de percentages gelukkig en kan er iets meer tempo ontwikkeld worden.
The Alto de Cabertoria is a great climb. The road surface is very good and wide but watch out for cars. Especially the middle part is very heavy with constantly double figures. There is little or no time to enjoy the rough landscape because it is constantly raking to not stand still and this for 10 km.
In the Tour of Spain and Asturias, this climb is regularly on the menu and even the pros are scared of it because if they continue from the foot, they count with minutes time difference.
De Alto de Cabertoria is een kanjer van een klim . Het wegdek is zeer goed en breed maar opletten voor auto's. Vooral het middenstuk is loodzwaar met constant dubbele cijfers. Tijd om te genieten van het ruwe landschap is er weinig of niet want het is constant harken om niet stil te staan en dit 10 km lang.
In de ronde van Spanje en Asturië staat deze beklimming regelmatig op het menu en zelfs de profs hebben er schrik van want alshier vanaf de voet wordt doorgereden wordt er met minuten tijdsverschil gerekend.
