This is the first mountain stage of the 80th edition of the Spanish race: the climbs towards Santigosa and Tosses will likely trigger the day's breakaway while the teams of the big names will come into action when arriving in Andorran territory. Here, they will face the Comella, a 4.2 km climb at 8% that will serve as an appetizer to the final ascent to Pal, measuring 9.6 km at 6.3%.

The first kilometers are the same as the climb to Arinsal, where Evenepoel won in 2023, and it is likely that today the general classification - currently very tight - will stretch out a bit and some expected top riders might struggle after yesterday's transfer and team time trial efforts.
