Busy day that awaits the survivors of The Return in this edition of the Spanish round. After yesterday’s clear outcome of the sprint, in which the British Matthew Brennan at full speed, the road book proposes an uncertain route, in which one could either experience another sprint or see the triumph of a breakaway.

And 20 kilometers from the finish line, the last climb of the day and the hardest is ascended, Puerto El Bartolo (1st), nine kilometers of ascent at 7.1%, with the attraction of having several kilometers of sterrato, of stretches of land, with the uncertainty that always surrounds them.

Previously, the runners will have to climb three more passes, two of the 2nd category (Puerto de la Serrafella and Alto Desierto de las Palmas) and one of third (Coll de la Bandereta).

A route design before which it will be necessary to see what the attitude of the leader, the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar. Whether he will seek his third victory in this edition of the race or leave partial glory for another day.
