Race report
The riders take it easy, but once in Madrid Matteo Montaguti, Omar Fraile, Carlos Verona, Jose Joaquin Rojas, Ben King and Laurent Pichon attack in the second lap. They race to a maximum lead of 30 seconds with a nervous pack chasing. The break is caught before entering te last round.

Despite several attacks it all boils down to a bunch sprint with Degenkolb powering to his first stage win in la Vuelta 2015.
