Tour of Valencia 2021 Route stage 2: Alicante - Alicante

Two years ago the Tour of Valencia also featured a race from Alicante naar Alicante. The route was far from flat, yet the race came down to a bunch sprint anyway with Matteo Trentin outperforming Nacer Bouhanni and Ben Swift. In August of that same year La Vuelta finished in Alicante and, again, the sprinters had it their way. Sam Bennett outgunned Edward Theuns and Luka Mezgec on the line.

A similar scenario is on the cards in this year’s 2nd stage. The route takes in one intermediate climbs, which is situated far from the finish.
