Long stage with four mountains passes, among them two 1st category climbs, which will test the peloton. The climb up to Mijares (1st category), 40 km from the finish-line, and San Juan de Nava (3rd category), 5 km from the finish-line, will reduce the group. A sprint finale is expected among the favourites, who will have to overcome the climbs and the Ávila heat at that time of year.
