A transfer south and a well earned rest day will be followed by a stage suited for an escape group of 20. The two categorized altos that appear midway will solidify a small group that should be able to stay clear to fight out for the finale in Algemesí. The category 3 climb at Marianet (kilometre 58) and the category 3 climb at Chirivilla (kilometre 90) will leave 100 kilometres through Valencia with no major challenges.
