Some news from the start this morning is that both Andreas Kron (Lotto Dstny) and Damiano Caruso (Bahrain-Victorious) won’t start in Archidona.
The Dane, who this morning was confirmed to be joining Uno-X Mobility for 2025 and 2026, is out of the race on concussion protocols.

A 180.5km-long route from Archidona, just north of Malaga and the Alboran sea, will head inland towards the city of Córdoba.
The route isn’t too arduous but the aptly named ‘Alto del 14%’ climb at 25km to go, named after its 14% pinches on its upper slopes, could be the perfect place for a late attack from a GC contender keen to recoup time.
The neutralised start is approximately half an hour away, so let’s take a look at today’s route.
