From the Sierra de Aracena down to the Atlantic coast at Palos de la Frontera, the port from which Columbus sailed in 1492. A flat finish and one of the last remaining chances for the sprinters still in the race.
Stage favourites
Stage 16 (Cortegana → Palos de la Frontera, 181.1 km) is a flat sprint stage with 2,244 m of cumulative climbing. The peloton will almost certainly arrive together and the finish will come down to the pure sprinters and their lead-out trains.
⚡ Watch for the lead-out trains forming in the final 3 km, and for any crosswind splits that might splinter the peloton before the sprint.
