Sant Feliu de Guíxols > Sant Feliu de Guíxols 174km

The organisers have tinkered with the usual opening stage, it still finishes with the grippy rise to the line, but the stage looks harder to me. The finale of the stage is different, the bunch approach the finish from a different direction, which includes a cat 2 climb. This is usually a day that ends in a fight between the climbing sprinters and speedy GC riders, we’ll see if the changes have any impact on the type of finish we get.
