Stage 10

The road

At the start

Over the Bermejo, then all downhill

Chris Froome won on the Cumbre del Sol, his first Grand Tour stage of the year, and leads Esteban Chaves by 36 seconds and Nicolas Roche by 1:05. After the rest day and a transfer to Murcia, today runs 110 net-downhill kilometres and then climbs the Collado Bermejo, twenty kilometres at five and a half per cent, cresting thirty from the line. What is left after that mostly falls away.
