Last stage before the first rest day of this Spain’s Vuelta edition.

The level ground is favourable for a sprint arrival to the finishing line. The third category ALTO DE ARISGOTAS summit, at km 103, is the only problem racers are going to meet between both La Mancha cities.

Toledo had not hosted a Spain’s Vuelta stage arrival line for nineteen years, although, five times, a stage ended in its streets. Ghirotto, the Italian racer, was the last to win.

On the 4th of September, 2008, racers will have to complete a two lap’s urban circuit with a final two kilometres long final 3% ramp and an arrival line at the top of a steep climb.
