How this stage was measured

The course comes from the official Komoot tour embedded on the organiser’s stage page, not from a route planner joining towns. VeloWorkout measures 180.9 km against the 181.1 km the roadbook prints, and 1,972 m of climbing against a published 1,914 m. Elevation is carried by the official track itself.

Not yet raced as of 1 September 2026, so this is the planned route and it may still be altered before the stage is run. Sources disagree on distance: official 181.1 km, PCS 181.1 km, Wikipedia 186.0 km. The official roadbook figure is used here. La Vuelta publishes no official climbing total; 1914 m is ProCyclingStats' figure and the official Komoot track gives 1976 m.
