A flat stage, between the Valencian localities of Requena and Gandia. If the teams control the escape, there will be a sprint to the finish-line. But if there is a long escape, it could end as a battle among the very few that break away in an attempt to cross the finish-line alone. This will be the second-last opportunity for sprinters. After today, there will only be three days left until the end, two of which will be decisive for the general classification. Presented by Gary Imlach with commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar, and Daniel Friebe the roving reporter.
