SAN VICENT DEL RASPEIG – ORIHUELA – 161 km – Sprint

We enter the province of Alicante in a third stage that is ideal for a sprint finish. A mountain climb, although far from the finish line, will encourage the riders to look for the breakaway. There will be nerves in the final part with the wind from the side, but everything indicates that the sprinters’ teams will control the race for a mass finish of the peloton.
