Preview. From the 15th to 19th of February 2023 the peloton will be in Spain for what is one of the most reputable early-season stage-races, the Vuelta a Andalucia. Stage 5 will be the final day of competition, with the GC fight sure to blow up once again as Enric Mas looks to attack the Bahrain riders and race leader Tadej Pogacar.
The final day of racing into Alhaurín de la Torre is a very mixed one, where the finale coincides with a small hilltop finish as usual, with gradients of 5% inside the final kilometer. That won't be a big issue however, but the climbers will once again find hard challenges on the final day of the race in the form of both long and steep ascents.
The main climb of the day will feature 17.3 kilometers at 4.8%, and most of the stage features terrain which suits offensive style of racing. The final serious climb will have 2.4 kilometers at 9.3%.
Stage 5: Otura - Alhaurín de la Torre, 184.3 kilometers
