Alcaraz > Elche de la Sierra 185km

The dust has settled on a seismic first week of the race. Pogačar was at his dominant best, Brennan is back to looking like a superstar and then Pogačar crashes out of the race, propelling Mas into red. The Spaniard responded by winning Sunday’s stage in outstanding fashion, but the GC fight is still very much alive, but those boys can rest up until Thursday. The second week kicks off with a breakaway/sprint stage, it looks hard to hold together for a sprint.
