There are no categorised mountains on tap for stage 2, however, the 109km route profile is anything but flat. The course is either up or down and likely to be a good opportunity for a breakaway or a reduced group on the roads toward the finish. It is not a flat finish either, but the peloton will tackle a short, steep ascent in the final kilometres before a short descent into San Cibrao das Viñas.
