The riders will leave Hellín to travel south to Torre Pacheco in the Murcia region. The 176-kilometre parcours will be just what the doctor ordered as the next day comes with a handful of mountain passes. The riders will face only the category 3 Puerto Espuña, 90 kilometres from the finish line. Any riders wishing for an escape will have to work very hard as the sprinters will be itching to put one in the back before Saturday's stage.
