Earlier this spring, the town of Girona officially welcomed the Garmin-Slipstream squad to town with an honorary ride and the traditional Catalan gift of jamon (ham). Girona welcomes the Tour with the start of stage 6. Riders will face a transition stage between Girona and Barcelona that includes five categorized climbs. After leaving Girona, the route follows the Mediterranean coastline for approximately 60 kilometers before turning inland again toward the hilly terrain of Costa Brava. If a breakaway can stay away from the chasing peloton, they will return to the coast for the run-in to the uphill finish at Montjuich Park in Spain’s second largest city.
