Flat as a pancake
No categorised climbs, barely any relief: this is the flattest day of the entire 2026 Vuelta. A stage built for total control by the sprint teams.
Last chance for the fast men
With time trial and mountain stages filling out the third week, this is almost certainly the last bunch sprint of this Vuelta. Anyone who fails here may have to wait until Granada — and that finish is anything but a sprint.
