Subito spettacolo alla Vuelta a Andalucia: il Puerto de Palomas (13 km al 5,9%), ultima salita di giornata, ha ispirato Jakob Fuglsang della Astana e Mikel Landa della Bahrain McLaren, che si sono involati a metà salita e non sono pù stati ripresi. I due hanno collaborato fino agli ultimi metri, anche questi in salita per chiudere una giornata con oltre 3500 metri di dislivello, quando il danese della Astana ha accelerato per andare a cogliere il successo.

A caratterizzare la tappa è stata una lunga fuga molto numerosa con Lammertink e Osorio che cono stati gli ultimi ad arrendersi proprio sull’ultima salita di giornata. Poi l'attacco di Loic Vliegen della Circus Wanty come Lammertink, e quindi l'affondo di Landa e Fuglsang per andare a
giocarsi il successo.

Per Fuglsang, alla prima gara di stagioe, si tratta del successo numero 23 della carriera.
