The race, led by Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) ahead of the final stage, has seen the Slovenian win two stages, while Dylan Groenewegen (Jumbo-Visma) sprinted to victory on stage 1 and 3.
There's a star-studded field at the race, with Pogačar joined by three-time winner Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), Michał Kwiatkowski (Team Ineos), among the major names on the start list.
2019 winner Ion Izagirre (Astana) returned to defend his title alongside teammate and third-place finisher last year Pello Bilbao, while Dan Martin (Israel Start-Up Nation), Dylan Teuns and Wout Poels (both Bahrain McLaren) debut with their new teams. Other GC threats on the start list include James Knox (Deceuninck-QuickStep), Jack Haig (Mitchelton-Scott) and Tao Geoghegan Hart (Team Ineos).
Only one stage of the race remains, Sunday's 97.7km race from Paterna to Valencia. It should be another one for the sprinters, with Groenewegen set to do battle with Fabio Jakobsen (Deceuninck-QuickStep), John Degenkolb (Lotto Soudal), Alexander Kristoff (UAE Team Emirates) and the CCC duo of Matteo Trentin and Greg Van Avermaet, among others.
