The Tour stays on Catalan soil with a stage that had to be modified in the weeks before the race -the passage through Collserola was restricted because of the swine fever outbreak- and that will once again have the final circuit in Montjuïc as its main draw.
The triple ascent of the Castle on the 'Magic Mountain' should produce, as it already does at the Volta, an intriguing duel among the favourites amid an all but guaranteed frenzy of fans on its ramps. The finish is not the same as in the Catalan tour: it ends beside the Olympic Stadium, and the laps include a stretch along the Paral·lel.
