Bandit country. A short, but very punchy stage through the winding lanes and backroads of Cantabria. Mid-climb ramps of up to 15% on the cat.1 Collada de Brenes could provide the perfect opportunity for a GC ambush, particularly when combined with the ultra-fast descent to the finish that follows immediately afterwards.

Climbs

  • Puerto de Alisas (cat.2) km. 41.4
  • Collada de Brenes (cat. 1) km. 122 - time bonus

Sprints

  • Barros, km. 103.2
