After more than 30 years, the Vuelta returns to the Basque Country for the first time. A long day awaits the riders with over 193km, four categorized climbs. Before heading to the Pyrenees in the coming days, the ranking drivers will try to conserve their energy and clear the stage - perhaps another opportunity for a breakaway group or a strong soloist.
