Presentation: Ambitious tour around Portugal and Spain, containing the most famous passes and finishes of Tour of Portugal and Tour of Spain, and some unknown passes.
Stage 1: Team Time Trial Lisbon - 2km
The first prologue between two historic points of Lisbon.
Stage 2: Medium Mountain Stage: Lisbon - Coimbra - 214km
The hills should make little diferences, a classic or a sprinter with good mountain should take this stage which finishes in front of University of Coimbra
Stage 3: Medium Mountain Stage: Coimbra - Viseu - 178km
Harder than the last stage, the climb to São Macário is the biggest test to the favourites, a classic should take the victory
Stage 4: Flat Stage: Viseu - Porto - 150km
The first opportunity to the sprinters to shine, the finish in Avenida dos Aliados is hard, but a good train can control the race.
Stage 5: Medium Mountain Stage: Porto - Braga - 167km
Big test to the favourites before the 2 next mountain stages, a start of a hard sequence, with 2 passages on Sameiro, near the finish in Braga.
Stage 6: Mountain Stage: Braga - Mondim de Basto - 169km
The first real mountain test, finishing with a legendary Tour of Portugal climb: Senhora da Graça. The favourites start making differences.
Stage 7: Mountain Stage: Belmonte - Torre - 129km
Another mytical finish of Tour of Portugal, despiste the stage is short, the climbs to Penhas da Saúde, Penhas Douradas and Torre will make it special.
Stage 8: Flat Stage: Guarda - Salamanca - 195km
A chance to rest, before the rest day, the sprinters can fight the stage between themselves after 3 stages of survival. The riders get in Spain.
REST DAY
Stage 9: Flat Stage: Valladolid - Burgos - 153km
After the rest day, the riders face a warm-up, a flat stage, with no many history to make.
Stage 10: Mountain Stage: Lugones - Lagos de Covadonga - 188km
The third mountain stage finish in a legendary finish: Lagos de Covadonga, a Vuelta typical finish, anyone who wins here, will make history.
Stage 11: Individual Time Trial: Avilés - Oviedo - 38km
A decisive stage, where the climbers with a good time trial status can make some big differences at the finish of this time trial at Naranco.
Stage 12: Mountain Stage: Oviedo - Alto del Anglirú - 206km
The last mountain stage, and the chance of the climbers who lost time in the time trial to win this tour, it could be a spetacular stage at the hardest climb in the world.
Stage 13: Flat Stage: Toledo - Madrid - 112km
The consagration stage is deserved after 13 days fighting for this first edition of La Iberica, in Madrid the sprinters can win and the winner finally celebrates.
