Overview

• Riders roll from Vegadeo/A Veiga to Monforte de Lemos over 167.8 km after a neutralized start at 13:05 and an official start around 13:12.
• Two categorized ascents stack the first half of the route: Puerto da Garganta (category 1, beginning at 16.5 km) and Alto de Barbeitos (category 2, near 54 km).
• The stage totals about 3,287 meters of elevation, with a downhill second half that could favor a reduced sprint if a breakaway is caught.
• Jonas Vingegaard stays in the red jersey after gaining two seconds on João Almeida the previous day, and Mads Pedersen retains the green points jersey.
• Sergio Higuita did not start, and the race heads to a Monday rest day before Stage 16 from Poio to Castro de Herville and a Wednesday finish at Alto del Morredero.
