Neither Saturday's stage nor Sunday's stage to Granada offer mountain top finishes but they both have plenty of climbing along the way. The first of the weekend's tests will be the 200-plus-kilometre run to Villacarrillo. The four category 3 climbs of María (km 39), Pinar (km 96), Santiago-Pontes (km 123) and Villanueva del Arzobispo (km 192) should see the race shattered into small groups.
