STAGE 6 DETAILS:



Start And Finish: Xàtiva → Xàtiva

Distance: 177 km



Stage Profile: Both the start and the finish of the sixth stage will take place in the capital of the La Costera region. Xàtiva. On Friday 4th September, the cyclists will face a 176km route that includes two 3rd-category climbs, both located mid-stage. Muela (Kilometre 64) and Milares (Kilometre 85)



However, the final part of the stage will be the most interesting part. The cyclists will ride through the streets of Xativa before facing a circuit that is commonly used in the lower-category races and which includes the 3rd-category Benigànim and the climb of Serrgrosa.. The final climb, which offers no Mountain Classification points, is located less than 10 kilometres from the finish, which the riders will approach via a very fast descent and a couple of steep, tricky slopes that are sure to break the main bunch.
