High speed and a final sprint will probably be the main characteristics in this third day. A mainly flat route, almost downhill during the last stretch and not many kilometres describe this stage that could be even a bit dangerous because the teams will want to be at the front of the peloton so as not let any break away.
Murcia has welcome Vuelta a España since 1935.

That year Cardona was the winner. Last year we reached Murcia from Alcoi, after having covered 153.3 kilometres.

The victory was achieved by Thomas Konecny, leaving David Etxebarría and Angel Edo just behind him. Murcia has been the city where riders such as Tom Steels, Henn, Martinello or Murga succeeded in different years. In 1996, Vuelta a España started in Murcia and Errandonea turned out to be the winner of the first time trial of that year.
