Stage 1: Oviedo - Pola de Lena, 179.2 kilometers

The opening stage of the race features climbing from start to finish and is a very difficult challenge. From Oviedo to Pola de Lena the riders find steep and also some rather long ascents where differences can be made. The last of which is 8.3 kilometers long at almost 6% and only a steep downhill finish is left after it's summit.

Stage 2: Ribera de Arriba - Ribadesella, 200.1 kilometers

Perhaps the day best suited to the sprinters or a breakaway, the second stage features 200 kilometers of racing. It features quite a bit of climbing, but the final 35 kilometers are pan-flat and it is expected that a group will battle it out in a sprint at the end of the day.

Stage 3: Benia de Onís - Oviedo, 144 kilometers

Perhaps the queen stage, the riders finally return to Oviedo in the final day of racing and although most of the day is flat, there is a very explosive finale.

Two climbs, one of 3.1 kilometers at 9.3% and another of 1Km at 8.9% make the finally very explosive and opens up he possibility for decisive gaps to be opened.
