A rare gift for the sprinters: a flat run down the Valencian coast with a finish at Xeraco. With so few bunch sprints in this edition, the fast men and their lead-out trains will treat this as a stage they cannot afford to lose.
Stage favourites
Stage 8 (Puçol → Xeraco, 171 km) is a flat sprint stage with 1,305 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.
