Stage 2 - Sunday, August 28: Granada-Córdoba, 189.3 km

Generally a downhill run into Córdoba, there's a cat 2 climb, the Alto de San Jeronimo, at 13 km before the finish which will certainly sort out the contenders for the first sprint finish of the race. A pretty solid day's riding to kickstart proceedings.
