Vuelta 2024 Route stage 10: Ponteareas - Baiona

It will be the third time that a Vuelta stage sets off from Ponteareas. The town lies a stone throw’s from the Spanish-Portuguese border. Shortly after the start the riders tackle the Alto de Fonfría, which is a long climb at moderate gradients. A perfect launch pad for the breakaway, once could argue.

The riders descend onto undulating terrain before two climbs within 15 kilometres pear just before the 100 kilometres marker. The Alto de Vilachán and Alto de Mabia precede the biggest challenge of the day, Alto de Mougás. The climb is also known as the Alto da Groba, but since the riders tackle the ascent from Mougás, La Vuelta opts for the first name.

Breakaway specialists combining a fresh pair of climbing legs with descending skills will want to shine, as the finale is perfect for them. After the Monte da Groba climb the last 20 kilometres run predominantly downhill to the finish line at the shores of Vigo Bay.

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprint comes – at the Alto de Mougás summit – with 6, 4 and 2 seconds.
