Alhama de Murcia > Murcia 201km

The organisers have decided to go back to the old finish and removed the narrow climb that ended the race in 2023. To be honest, that wasn’t a great finish, I’m happy to see them back on the flat. It’s the same route as usual, with a big climb in the middle of the stage, followed by a punchy hill in the final 20km. It’s a race for the climbers, but it helps if you have a sprint.
