Today's stage starts in the town of Banyoles and covers 177.3km to the finish in Figueres, where it is expected that there will be a bunch sprint.
However, there are two major climbs at half way: Coll Puig del Pení (4km at an average of 4.6% max of 8%) and Coll de Sant Pere de Rodes (7.6km at an average of 6.5% max of 15%).
What a stage yesterday was with the horrendous weather and the dramatic finale which saw 19-year-old Brit, Matthew Brennan (Visma-Lease a Bike), steal victory from Alpecin-Deceuninck's Kaden Groves and Tibor Del Grosso.
