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 177.1 km against the 177.5 km the roadbook prints, and 3,074 m of climbing against a published 2,984 m. Elevation is carried by the official track itself.
The route track labels a marker 'Puerto de La Serratella' at km 40.5 while the roadbook puts that climb at km 44.6; the roadbook position is used. La Vuelta publishes no official climbing total; 2984 m is ProCyclingStats' figure and the official Komoot track gives 3076 m.
