There are zero KOM points on offer on the way from Belmez, Andalucía, to Villanueva de la Serena in the region of Extremadura. The biggest obstacle will undoubtedly be the heat. The summers in both Andalucía and Extremadura are notoriously hot and dry.
La Vuelta never before visited Belmez. Same goes for Villanueva de la Serena.
Given the flat route, a bunch sprint is next to certain. Both winning two stages, Fabio Jakobsen and Jasper Philipsen are the most successful sprinters in this year’s La Vuelta. Philipsen pulled out a few days ago, Jakobsen is still on board.
The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while there are 3, 2 and 1 seconds available at the intermediate sprint.
