A mountaintop finish, two cat 1 and a cat 2 climb signal the start of the race for overall honours at this year's Vuelta. The Port de Collada de Tosses after 77km, and the Collet de Montaup at 168km offer a challenge before riders ramp it up to the finish in Ordino Arcalis. There are more sprint points on offer, but chances are the sprinters will be working hard to get over the day's climbs, and worry about points later!
