As the riders entered the final circuit around Úbeda, Luis Angel Mate was the first to attack as the b, shortly after though as the race blew up a group with Alexey Lutsenko and
Tim Wellens attacking on the second lap in the main gravel ascent with the Astana rider soon going clear. Caught in the following descent, but on the start of the third ascent he quickly powered away from the chasing group to chase the win.
He confortably extended his gap and rode to a confortable win, even having a moment where he seemed to tighten his front wheel on the go as he crossed the finish line for the penultimate time. The chasing group quickly realized they were fighting for minor places and had it's own battle, from where Tim Wellens thrived and went on to finish second place, with Intermarché's Loic Vliegen rounding out the Top3.
