Another 1980s and 1990s favourite summit finish for the Vuelta, where it was regularly used for uphill time trials. This time round the long, flat approach roads to the ski station should favour a breakaway, but on paper Valdezcaray itself is not hard enough to produce significant GC differences.

Climbs

  • Valdezcaray (cat. 1), km. 195.5

Sprints

  • Santo Domingo de la Calzada, km. 165.5 - time bonus
