By David Hunter Hipódromo de la Zarzuela > Madrid 124.2km We end with a sprint.

By David Hunter Sequeros > Alto de la Covatilla 178.2km The last mountain stage.

By David Hunter Salamanca > Ciudad Rodrigo 162km This concludes a run of three stages that really suit the breakaway riders.

By David Hunter Mos > Puebla de Sanabria 230.8km 230km, over 4000m of climbing, and in the final week of a grand tour. Whose idea was this?

By David Hunter Lugo > Ourense 204.7km Breakaway day, but with a hint of a GC ambush.

By David Hunter Muros > Mirador de Ézaro 33.7km ITT A time trial, Spanish style!

By David Hunter Pola de Laviana > Alto de l’Angliru 109.4km Get ready for an intense day.

By David Hunter This is a tough stage.

By David Hunter Castro Urdiales > Suances 185km A finish that’s harder than it looks.

By David Hunter Castrillo del Val > Aguilar de Campoo 157.7km Looks like a sprint day, but all might not be as it seems.

By David Hunter Logroño > Alto de Moncalvillo 164km Stage 8, and a big mountaintop finish.

By David Hunter Vitoria-Gasteiz > Villanueva de Valdegovia 159.7km Now, this looks like a breakaway stage to me.

By David Hunter Biescas > Aramón Formigal 147.5km France has denied the race access, so out goes the big mountain stage that was planned, but the organisers had something up their sleeve.

By David Hunter We end with a time trial.

By David Hunter Huesca > Sabiñánigo 184.4km I’m not too sure what to make of this stage.

By David Hunter Alba > Sestriere 190km It’s a real shame that the original route couldn’t go ahead as planned, France have pulled down the shutters and refused access, so the Agnello and Izoard have been cut, and we end up with a much easier stage. Quite convenient for the French to get their own race…

By David Hunter Garray. Numancia > Ejea de los Caballeros 191.7km At last, a boring sprint stage.
