The Spanish round reaches its first final high, in the Caminito del Rey, a port of the 3rd category.

The day began with nerves and wanting to form a break, in the end the following cyclists were ahead:Alexis Gougeard (AG2r-La Mondiale), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal), Pierre Rolland (EF Education First-Drapac), Pablo Torres (Burgos-BH), Jonathan Lastras (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), Luis Angel Mate (Cofidis) y Hector Saez (Euskadi-Murias).

The advantage gained by the escapees was more than 4 minutes, Little by little the difference was decreasing, Alexis Gougeard and Pierre Rolland tried to sneak away from the great break of the day and kept hope until in the absence of 17km they were neutralized.The movistar and the Sky threw strong in the head, and some important runners like Nibali or Porte were cut and lost time at the end of the route.

The runners arrived in line at the last meters, Deplus tried, he got a few meters, but behind two lions came wanting to devour their prey. Valverde and Kwiatoswky passed him and they played the victory to the sprint, the Spaniard imposed his point of speed and got the win.
