There are no KOM points on offer along the route. The elevation gain comes from the gentle rolling terrain of the expansive landscape south of the Pyrenees.
The last time the Vuelta finished in Zaragoza, the race approached from Olvéga, roughly 100 kilometres west of the city. This time, the riders are coming in from the east. It shouldn’t make any difference to the outcome – a sprint finish is the most likely scenario in Spain’s fourth-largest city.
Two years ago, Sebastián Molano claimed victory in the streets of Zaragoza, besting Kaden Groves and Boy Van Poppel in a bunch sprint.
