Stage description

Start time: 13:07 CEST
Finish time: 17:00 CEST

A fast stage is expected between Albacete and Valdepeñas, with a gently rolling parcours of just 160km. All three intermediate sprints are in the second half of the race, so expect continued attacks and pressure in the main field through to the finish. With a slightly uphill finish, however, the pure sprinters could be foiled by a strong opportunist.
