From Valladolid to Las Rozas, riders are going to meet only one mountain pass, the third category PUERTO DE LOS LEONES, but the climb at this time is along a gentler slope and when the stage is well behind. From the departure to the mountain pass top, the route is virtually a soft ascent.

After the top, the run down starts to the Madrid Province town of las Rozas that, although it has been for three times a stage starting point, this is only the second one when the arrival line is set here. Last time, Pedro Díaz Lobato was the lonely winner followed close by a small group of riders.
