STAGE 3: ORIHUELA – SANT VICENT DEL RASPEIG (158 KM)

A clearly defined route in two parts: the first 100 km are completely flat, ideal for breakaways, with two climbs in the final 50 km. The leader’s team should control the pace to ensure a comfortable stage. If there isn’t much action, the sprinters could have another opportunity on the Category 2 climb of Tibi, 35 km from the finish.
