Vilalba > Barreiros 149km In terms of climbing meters, it’s the easiest stage of the week, but that cat 3 climb inside the final 25km isn’t easy. The startlist is interesting, there’s a real lack of sprinting talent, we’ll have to see who wants to control the break. UAE will be interested, Johansen is in the race lead after a brilliant ITT, UAE will want to keep him in the jersey for a couple of stages.
