The riders click into their pedals near the HQ of ElPozo Alimentación, which is the most consumed food brand in Spanish households. ElPozo hosted La Vuelta in a stage finish in 2017, when Matteo Trentin outspinted his fellow-attacker José Joaquin Rojas.
No stage finish near the headquarters this time. The riders leave Alhama de Murcia to head south on undulating terrain. The finish lies in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park in the deep south of Spain, close to Almería. It hardly rains in this part of the country, resulting in a desert-like arid beauty.
A bunch sprint is the most likely outcome.
