Stage 1 is a virtually flat team time trail of 14.5 kilometres before the sprinters will be eyeing their chances in the next race. Stage 2 features a climb at moderate gradients in the last 20 kilometres, but the rest of the route is as good as flat. The 3rd stage is the flattest of the entire Vuelta Femenina, although it’s played out at an altitude of around 700 metres above sea level.
Stage 4 is a hilly race with a 4 kilometres climb at 4.8% 12 kilometres before the finish.
Climbers will get the forst of two chances to shine on the fifth day of action. Stage 5 takes in a big intermediate climb before finishing on a 5 kilometres climb at 6.7%.
Stage 6 is another lumpy test before the decisive last stage goes to the renowned Lakes of Covadonga. The 12.5 kilometres climb to the line is wildly irregular. It opens with 7 kilometres at approximately 10% before the profile changes and short drops start playing leapfrog with 20% ramps.
