How it 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 223.2 km from Monaco to Manosque against the 214.3 km the roadbook prints, and 3,303 m of climbing against a published 2,942 m. Elevation is carried by the official track itself.
The official route track measures 223.0 km against the roadbook's 214.3 km, so waypoints taken from roadbook kilometre marks can sit some way along the road from where the roadbook puts them. Climb positions are unaffected - they are taken from the track's own labelled markers. The route track labels a marker 'Alto Châteauneuf-Grasse' at km 53.4 while the roadbook puts that climb at km 32.3; the roadbook position is used. The route track labels a marker 'Col de Saint Andrieu' at km 113.4 while the roadbook puts that climb at km 92.4; the roadbook position is used. Sources disagree on distance: official 214.3 km, PCS 202.1 km, Wikipedia 215.5 km. The official roadbook figure is used here. La Vuelta publishes no official climbing total; 2942 m is ProCyclingStats' figure and the official Komoot track gives 3311 m. This build measures 222.2 km against a published 214.3 km (3.7%). It measures 3303 m of climbing against a published 2942 m (12.3%).
