Stage 3 - Monday, August 29: Cordoba-Puertollano, 153.3 km

Nothing too special on the third stage, with a cat 3 climb and three intermediate sprint points on offer for what should be a hotly-contested points competition. At 153km it's a shorter stage, but with high temperatures prevalent in this part of the country it's not what you'd call an easy roll through the south of Spain.
