The return to Spain 2025 says goodbye to its second week this Sunday with its stage number 15. The tour this Sunday, between The Veiga/Vegade Y Monforte de Lemos (167.8 km), high mountain mixture at its start with a much more favorable terrain for rollers in the second half, which opens the eternal question: will it be a day for the escape or for a reduced sprint?

Two ports to open the battle

As soon as the squad is launched, the Garganta port (1st category, 16.5 km at 5%)a climb lying in most of its layout but with a final stretch that reaches 10% and can select the race from the first kilometers. There the escape of the day will surely be defined, with climbers and adventurers looking for prominence.

The route continues with a breaking terrain, until it leads to the Alto de Barbeitos (2nd category, 12 km al 4%)a friendlier but long enough to test those who have suffered in the first port. Overcome that difficulty, the stage enters a false plain of almost 45 km which marks the transition to the second part of the route.

A misleading stage

After two days of pure mountain in Asturias, the Sunday layout may seem like a break, but with 3,287 meters of positive slope It will not be a walk. Accumulated fatigue can play bad passes and some unexpected movement in the general classification is not discarded, although the favorites surely prefer to save energy with their eyes on the last week.

Stage 15 is, in short, as a Perfect scenario for partial victories hunterswithout losing sight of the possibility of strategic surprises before the second day of rest.
