An unusual final stage
Unlike the Tour's traditional sprint finale, the Vuelta opts for a tough circuit stage through Granada, tackling the climb up to the Alhambra no fewer than five times.
Not for sprinters, not for climbers
A short, sharp uphill finish after climbing to the Alhambra five times suits neither a pure sprinter nor a classic climber. Expect an explosive, unpredictable final stage win — with overall victory normally already settled.
