Description
The bikers will meet in La Habana on December 3 to pedal in a not competitive prologue in the capital city. The Malecón, the Revolution Square and the Plaza de Armas will be some of the emblematic spots where the participants will be able to pedal and to greet the Cuban citizens, who wait this second edition with joy.
Description
The capital city is left behind to enter some tracks avoiding asphalted roads, crossing villages that will let the participants know a different Cuba. The participants will arrive through a forest to the first and spectacular camp of Soroa, Reserve of the Biosphere where stands out the Orchid field with more than 20.000 exemplars of 130 species of orchids.
Description
This is the stage of the hydraulic dams. The second stage will be a curl in the sense of the needles of the clock circulating by big tracks that cross crops areas and parallel to three hydraulic dams. Coming back to Soroa, the great difficulty of the day is a technical and stony raise.
Description
This is the longest stage of the race. The bikers will live a singular day where they will have to cross constantly slightly mighty rivers, small villages and technical sections and to defy the top of the mythical step of the "Marcha Atrás", with some section with a percentage superior to
18 %. The Viñales's second camp waits for the bikers, a region classified as Cultural Landscape of the Humanity for the UNESCO, and where there stand out the traditional "hillocks" and valleys of singular beauty.
Description
This is the main stage. Due to its hardness and characteristics, the fourth stage of the Titan Tropic Cuba by Gaes can be decisive for the general classification. Surrounding the Mongotes of Viñales, the route passes entirely for tracks and paths, some of them of big difficulty. This is a stage 100% MTB with many kilometers of paths.
Description
The spectacular end of the Titan Tropic by Gaes is one of the big incentives of the competition. The thin and white sand of Cayo Jutías, with even more meters of beach than in the last edition, constitutes the perfect end for the race. It is not a stage of honoring, as before it, it is necessary to cross a closed forest and overcome a few kilometers that pass for a mine of exploitation in the open air. The glory waits for the titans.
