Thursday, September 8th - Stage 18 200.6km
Requena to Gandía
Flat stage, between the Valencian localities of Requena and Gandia with a rugged first part, with the Puerto de Casa del Alto, that becomes smoother in the final part, and that will be decisive for the race. If the teams control the escape, there will be a sprint to the finish-line, and 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.
