The 2018 Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana – as the Spaniards call the race – included a team time trial, which was neutralized due to strong winds. Possibly this prompted the organisation to include an individual time trial this year.
Start and finish are in Orihuela, a town at the base of the Sierra de Orihuela and close to the Mediterranean. The route is flat, except for the last 600 metres to the Seminario Diocesano de San Miguel. The zigzagging climb slopes at 9%.
